The ticket was a standard day single (no seat reservation), for a train
supposedly leaving Salford Crescent at 17:48 and arriving at Mancherster
Airport at 18:19
The train arrived at Salford Crescent at 17:48 and I settled down to do a
crossword, until I realised it was taking a long time and contacted the
train manager, who told me the 17:48 from Salford Crescent goes to
Liverpool, not to Manchester Airport!
