Back in July ...

....time in a circuit of English travel; bypassing the areas visited long past and all anew. 

Brand new coach with USB ports from a city ... 

The city to city fun fare to enable the continuation of the wide circuit route from North West to South West England.  This after travelling first class on the most talked about route from London Euston up North. Those who do not travel on the Pendolino or Super Voyager end up on the other slower competition sitting on the floor if only a few carriages in operation.  

The first class once again, the price of what can be standard on other routes ... the knack of travel on the times one can do advance bookings ... the time when plans do materialise

Travel with many new tales, interesting, weird. On this particular brand new coach, the irony of the coach driver announcing we were debuting a new coach. Subsequently on arrival at the very next city, Bristol, we were all transferred from this newness, the modernisation to not the current fleet of usual coaches, but the sometimes rickety old, old, back up coaches when the coach needs a overhaul in maintenance, down near the River Tamar.

  ... this the same area where it tends to happen away from the cities ... the buses less hybrid, aerodynamic, the county where it is populated by the politicians in the silly season ... yet the only rail track too not to get updated even when the Dawlish line was out of action a while one season ... along with so much neglected in investing in the infrastructure, the further you are away from the hub of Parliament...
