I've seen an advert for a film called 'Man of Steel'. Does this involve a basher played by Henry Cavill travelling (for example) from Manchester to Dublin for an RPSI tour the following day, who turns up at Piccadilly to find the 21:50 to Chester is running 10 late?

What is he to do? His plus five at Chester into the 22:56 to Holyhead (19:39 ex-Cardiff) has now turned into a minus five. If he misses at Chester he can still get to Holyhead that night, but too late for the boat. The 'Man of Steel' decides to brave the connection at Chester rather than cape the journey and head to Manchester Airport early the following morning for an expensive short notice flight to DUB. Failure to connect will mean he misses the tour and will be stuck either in Chester or Holyhead. The suspense as he leaves Bank Quay only 9 late having pulled up a minute is intense; by Frodsham it is unbearable.

The follow-up movie for 2014 'Move To Oblivion' has already been commissioned.

Man Of Steel is not the first Hollywood movie to feature the Coast Line.

Anyone else remember "Groundhog Day", starring several of the 47555s... :)
