They were served by that remarkable piece of enigineering known as the Class 141 when first opened!

Thanks! I was going to ask you where to find some!

I was a bit disappointed, but the cafe bar in Weilburg station is brilliant for a beer or 2 for 2 hours between the trains, terrace on the old platform!

The line between geissen and Limburg has been recently re signalled, I’m on a train from Weilburg to Koblenz, I came from Frankfurt to do this line, station staff told me it was recent

I went in the Sawyers Arms about 50 yards down London Street just across the road from the main entrance

Just on my way home from Dusseldorf, a few registration machines in security, which I used but didn’t see anyone else using them, then straight to passport desk where passport was scanned and stamped, no more than 2 mins for the lot

Just arrived at Düsseldorf, machines cordoned off, went to desk, right hand prints taken, passport stamped! Bonus!

Goole Bridge box was built in 1869, sees a single LNER 800 ecs to Hull every morning if thats allowed!

Just got to Newcastle now, I will look for 107 1782053010 Looks like it’s due at central in 21 mins, I’m off there! 1782054254 On 107, front seat in 4068!

Beauty! Hope they are still out when I get to Newcastle at 1530!

A walk-up return to Blackpool from Hull is £129.50 before 0900, and £93.50 after! The journey can easily be done with Northern changing once in Leeds

1R00, 0536 York - Hull is the only train that does not stop at Brough

I did exactly the same for GCSE History!

I always asked before we left the EU! The biggest challenge was convincing the Airport marshals to let you go to a manned desk, which was the case in and out of Alicante last month, a big fat NO both times! I was refused both ways at Vienna in April by the bloke on the desk aswell, Will try...
