Always at the wrong train station!

About a week ago, I decided to make an appointment at the Apple Store in Birmingham for today at noon to sort out a question I had about my computer and some software. I thought I had read the schedule correctly. Worcester has 2 train stations and Birmingham has more than 2. This morning I raced out of the front door and ran up the huge hill to the bus stop, only to see the bus leaving! So then I had to wait for the next one 30 minutes later. I got to Shrub Hill station in Worcester, only to learn that I should have stayed on the bus to Forgate Train Station. In order to get to Birmingham on time, I then had to take a taxi to Forgate Train Station!

After my Apple Store appointment - and not getting the help I needed, I walked the long way back to the Birmingham New Street Station only to learn that I should have gone to Moor Street Station.




So, I walked back toward Moor Street Station. Yes, that building is wavy -- it is not the photographer's fault!













There is Moor Street Station!











Moor Street is much more picturesque than New Street - which I did not photograph!










And...THERE IS THE SIGN FOR THE TRAIN FOR SHRUB HILL! I was finally at the right place after going to the wrong place in both cities today!
