Hey.
Next weekend I'll be travelling by train from Liverpool to Glasgow alone to visit my brother, with one change at Wigan. I'm only 15 and have never travelled solo before. I am really nervous about it incase something happens to me, or I get on the wrong train, etc. And I'll be extremely bored for over 6 hours. Any advice?

Take a good book.
As for boredom...I find train journeys are good for thinking time. A good book and my iPod and I'm away!
There are four platforms. Two are dead-ends. One is northbound, one is southbound. Glasgow is northbound;)
It'll tell you on the station monitors. Miss your train because the train from Liverpool was late, and just get on the next Glasgow one.
Would help if my mp3 player worked :yeees:
All Virgin train services have an at-seat radio system, like on planes. If you don't have headphones, you can buy them from the on-board shop for £3.

Better than a slap in the face with a wet trout.
youll be fine, and then youll feel all independent and good about yourself afterwards.
dont worry.
You won't even have a choice with that, most trains from Liverpool to Wigan North Western finish at Wigan.
In that case, it'll terminate at Preston, at which the Glasgow trains also stop.
Honestly, don't worry. It's a simple change.
Both Wigan North Western and Preston are quite small stations, Wigan North Western is only four platforms. Station staff will help you. The station monitors will help you.
Wigan North Western is one of the easiest stations to make a change at, you'll wonder what all the fuss was about.
Me and my mate fell asleep on a train and ended up in Bournemouth. We live in the Midlands. Imagine the hysterical laughter after the shock had died off
if you get stuck with your connecting train just ask someone who works there - but generally the screens are helpful. you just need to know where the train you're getting on at wigan ends 'cause that's where it'll say on the screen.
i did end up stuck at a station for 3 hours on my tod though. and it was a horrible one.
