There was engineering work on the line and we had to take a bus replacement between Birmingham New Street and Gloucester, All seemed to be going well but traffic congestion meant that we arrived at Gloucester station two minutes after our schedule train for Plymouth had departed. As the train to Plymouth was an hourly service we arrived at Plymouth station an hour later than intended and had to wait ages for a taxi. In fact we could probably have walked to the B&B in the time we waited but the suitcase wheels might have protested!
We have claimed a refund from Cross Country trains (watch this space!)
The B&B, Mariners Guest House was very clean and comfortable and we received a warm welcome on arrival. Much better than the one we stayed in last time.
We had a couple of miles of coast path to do between the Cremyll Ferry and the Mayflower Steps but first paid a call to Wetherspoons in the Barbican area 'Gog and Magog' which was absolutely heaving but we were served quite quickly thankfully.
