| | Courier Report FER-1284 DISPATCHED: 23/10/04 DELIVERED: 00/00/00 kate rich Coffee packed in overnight bag. Accompanied by kayle brandon, digital photographer, drove to bristol temple meads station, attempt to board the bag unattended on the virgin train for newcastle. Ticket barriers obstructed discrete platform access, so we relocated boarding exercise to nearby bristol parkway station (15 mins drive along the m32). At parkway, evaded ticket barrier detection and proceded to platform where the virgin train for newcastle (5+hrs cross-country) was the next train to arrive. From platform, boarded train & placed zipped coffee self-courier bag in the overhead luggage compartment. Alighted from train and waved goodbye to departing bag. Evaded ticket barriers on exit and sent a SMS to sneha from the cube car, noting train's departure time, name, hopeful schedule and carriage position. Unfortunately... |
sneha solanki Awaited for the 12.38 from Bristol Temple Meads on a very quiet platform at Newcastle train Station, came in on time very few passengers boarded on the train which incidently was also very empty. I quickly found the correct carriage and located the baggage rack...not there. Ran to the other end of the carriage and not there either. Looked on the top racks .. no, next carriage down, no. got of the train and ran back top the correct and walked through to the next carriage..not there either. this train was the amy johnson and not the Captain John Smith which left Bristol with the shipment! the straight through train had changed mid-route was the only conclusion.
Immediately called Newcastle then next destination - Edinburgh.
All lost property or unclaimed baggage is taken to aberdeen on this route.
Called Kate and conferred.
Called Aberdeen the next day ... no bag.
Called Birmingham train station, a usual mid-point train change...no bag
Called kate and conferred.
> > maybe a train guard stole it ?
No trace.
