I’m on my lunch break and I must
meet someone in Wolverhampton. The strange thing is that I’ve only got an hour
to get to and from Stratford upon Avon where my work day must resume and it’s a
meeting, so I will be noticeably missed. I reach the bar for my rendezvous but
the person that I’m due to meet isn’t there. I’ve then got to begin my return
journey by heading back to the rail station. Instead of going for the urban
route I decide to walk as the crow flies for a faster journey, and walk through
a suburban housing estate. It’s a long wide open road with many cul-de-sacs
running from it, and there’s a few bus stops along the way so there’s a good chance
of getting a lift into town. I fish in my pockets but I only have a single
ticket; but I have some coins with me. The first two buses that go past seem to
be rented vehicles for the elderly, and as I approach another bus stop, one
pulls in right in front of me. I make a dash for it and wave my ticket but it
sets off; evidently another elderly only bus. I cross the road and suddenly I
hear a train announcer. I look around and see a small corridor with a staircase
in between a row of shops. I climb the steps and at the top is a tunnel which
looks like it leads into the station, but I would need to crawl through. Do I
follow it?
