Michael is a broken man. He''s waiting for the 09.46 to Gloucester, so as to reach Crewe for 11.22: the platforms are long at Crewe and he can walk easily into the path of a high-speed train to London. He''s planned it all: a net of tangerines (for when the refreshments trolley is cancelled), and a juice carton, full of whisky.
He longs to silence the voices in his head: ex-partners, colleagues, and the unbearable memories of work and school. What Michael hasn''t factored in, however, is a twelve-minute delay. He''s going to miss his connection - and make a few new ones...
