We had breakfast and it was not bad actually. We went to the Underground, and stopped in Euston. From Euston we boarded a London Midway train to Northampton. Something intrigues me though. Why the single-trip and return-trip fare are only £1 difference. We bought the off-peak fare, and it is far cheaper than the normal ones.
London Midway Train was literally deserted, and we shared the compartment with only one or two peeps. The journey was comfortable enough, but when I wanted to pee, I accidentally opened the automated sliding door when there was still someone inside. Well it wasn't my fault, 'cause he didn't lock it.
We arrived in Northampton and got a free tour around the town. There's nothing really, but I love the Victorian Georgian style on the houses.
After Northampton, we left for Manchester Piccadily, and a bit chilly. The Virgin train is similar with London Midway's train, but a lot faster. Maybe we can compare London Midway with 臺鐵 Tai Tie, the national railway in Taiwan, and Virgin though a bit slower than 高鐵 Gao Tie or Taiwan High Speed Rail. We stayed in Brittania Hotel and ate dinner in Chinatown.
The Brittania Hotel is an ancient, well not ancient, but old enough as the building dated back to 1858. The room was comfy enough, but no window. I asked the receptionist for a windowed-room, but it will cost more £10. However, basically this twin room in Brittania is surprisingly cheap, £39 for every night, no breakfast, but we can live with that. This hotel is located near the Piccadily bus station, and there are loads of stores, plus chinatown, so we can survive hahhhahaha.
Maybe we'll go shopping tomorrow after meeting the client.
