Things I Learned Whilst Getting Lost: Part the First

If you insist on listening to your MP3 Player getting on a train (thus missing the garbled announcements of which stops your train will make) at least look at the trains destination on the board.

Turns out there are 2 ways to get to Southport from Salford Crescent – one goes through Bolton (the one I needed to get) the other goes via the Atherton line (the one I actually got). I’ve been catching the train to Southport to get home from Manchester Piccadilly for the last 6 years – apparently there’s one from Manchester Victoria which doesn’t go to Bolton, they both go through Salford Crescent, enter lost me somewhere on the Atherton Line.
