Last October, I visited the UK for 2 weeks. I flew into London for a couple of days, then had to take a train from London to Bolton. I was scared to death as I would be traveling alone and I knew basically nothing about how the trains operated, and where my stops/layovers would be.

I had to change trains at one point and on the schedule, Bolton was not listed as a stop. I only had a 10 minute wait until the train I needed to take was going to pull in. I didn't know if I was in the right place. I felt panic starting to rise in me and got sweaty and scared. I finally asked some folks if I was in the right place, etc etc. They were very nice and explained I was in the right place and what stop I would need to get off in Bolton.

I guess my point is this, when in doubt, ASK someone! If they don't answer or give you grief...then go on to the next person. Odds are, you will find someone who will be helpful. I had a great trip on my second train into Bolton as folks were friendly and talkative. I truly enjoyed it

Good Luck to you dear!!

Hugsssss
