Soop needs your help!

What a nightmare journey - poor Soop

Vibes & Vibrations,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,on the way... good luck..

Last update: "stuck at Preston low battery." Poor soop and Mr Soop! I think we need to send them strength vibes as well as travel vibes.

Take care, dear soop!

Oh dear, only at Preston?
Perhaps they should have a night's stop-over and carry on tomorrow?
soop will be OK - Mr Soop will make sure of that.

What a nightmare of a day they`re having, hope they`re on their way again soon, or better still, getting a good night`s rest in an hotel.

They are on a train for Euston, ETA midnight!

But, says trouper soop, "knackered but still smiling". I have sent hugs from us all.

Mr S will make sure soop takes it easy.

They`ll be worn out when they arrive, hope someone`s meeting them.

I'm pleasantly surprised she got as far as Preston as the landslide was said to be at Tebay which is north of Preston and south of Carlisle. But very pleased she is finally on her way!

Hurray! Thanks for keeping us updated, Bags!

Best wishes toyoysoop. Have a good rest then enjoy

bikergran - when I first glanced at your post I thought you had sent vibrators - I must stop reading our porn thread!
I hope soop and Mr. Soop finally got to bed and have lovely day today.

Just switched my phone on and soop's final message from that dreadful journey pinged into my pre-coffee consciousness (don't usually switch the mobile on till later but needed the timer for the bread I was starting early so that it would finish before we head out to archery club): they arrived at their hotel at one o'clock in the morning, aching all over! As soop says, "funny the things you put up with in order to see loved ones".

She sent love to GN.

I know what she means - it took me 40 hours of travelling to get back from New Zealand, but I will be there again next Spring!

So relieved for her and Mr soop. I hope they can manage to put the awful journey behind them with no ill effects and have a lovely time with the wee man.

I have only just found this thread. What a brilliant bunch you lot are. Thanks to Bags for keeping in touch. It really did lift our spirits to get your messages. The good vibes came in very handy. Only one thing would have broken my heart...not reaching our destination [I'd have walked it if I could.] Anyway, Virgin trains paid for the taxi to Carlisle - £200 there and back, as folk were stranded on that station too. Also, today, we received almost a full refund. We're very impressed and most grateful. At best, the staff at Glasgow were very mindful. At worst, the staff at other stations appeared not to be able to cope. Lack of info' was a b****r.

Soop, in the future, wouldn`t flying down there be a viable alternative?

I only just read this thread, looks like the vibes did thei job. Have a lovely time soop with your grandson. I am travelling soon to see two of my grandsons, I can't wait to see them again.

number...we enjoy the train journey. We also get well-priced tickets. It is the first time that the service was out of action. And within days, we were given a handsome refund.

Faye We were away for just the weekend. Should have arrived Euston at 6pm. Eventually made it at 1am...six hours overdue. However, we had such a special time. Have fun with your grandsons. Very special little people!

you can't always trust Virgins! They can go off the rails!

My thoughts also for soop's safe and successful journey. [prayer]

What is it with these men! The tone of the threads deteriorates when they appear!
Not like us genteel demure lot!

So Sorry Jeni,
I quite forgot my manners, but perfectly sincere in thoughts for our friend in the "soup" Hpoe your journey was successful dear soop!

Gramps, sweetie pie, it was a success in spite of all the adversity.

Soop, You sound so warm and satisfying! I bBet you could warm me up on a cold winters night! Don't take offence- I'm too old for you anyway - And I'm still madly in love with Mrs G, (but I can dream, can't I?)

Oh deary me! sorry Folks, I was late taking my mads last night and my flirtacious side was unchained -my apologies to Mr. & Mrs. Soop!
