This is a question Road Trip

Gather round the fire and share stories of epic travels. Remember this is about the voyage, not what happened when you got there. Any of that shite and you're going in the fire.

Off track?
I'd taken a train from Portsmouth to Blackpool and 30 minutes after buying it, I'd rolled it on a motorway slip road outside Preston. A teary, bleary night being interviewed by the plod (no tax, no insurance, fake MOT) led to me standing outside Charnock Richards motorway services, penniless, hungry, a bit shaken and hundreds of miles from home.

I'm not surprised that you were done by the cops, but how the hell did you get a train onto a slip road of the M6?

I suspect four words are missing:
"...to buy a van"

I'm guessing this from seven words which appear in the second paragraph: "...how stupid I'd been with my van."

Not that hard to figure out. Before I read the van part I assumed it was a vehicle of some sort, thats all that matters to the story.

I gave up at this point,
writing it off as one of those long, made up yarns, that populate this board.

Actually worth a click
Just because it initially reads like he bought a train and took it for a drive on a motorway.
