Wow! Thank you so much for all your input. Amazingly detailed information, which I have a habit of including in my books. I live in Washington DC now, but grew up in North Kent, so I have travelled (as a school kid) on the last of the Routemasters. So long ago. Well, late sixties/early seventies...

Good afternoon everyone. My first time here and I wonder if I may ask an innocent question? I am a novelist with little understanding of buses, so I'm hoping someone can assist. Q: In 1969, what bus route would someone take from Piccadilly Circus to the Elephant & Castle? My research suggests it...

My apologies for intruding upon your time again with my minor inquiry. I ought to have anticipated that stepping back into this unfamiliar realm - a place teeming with chaps brimming with enthusiasm and expertise - would result in an overwhelming influx of minutia (much of it of the best kind...

Thank you so much for all the information. I don't need too much specificity, but when do you think the trains would start running from Brighton to Victoria? I mean, what time in the morning? So, they would have been 8-12 coach electric trains, right? And good chance of stopping at Clapham...

Good afternoon, everyone. I'm completely out of my depth here, but I have a request concerning railway information. (I don't know what a head code is). In late 1968, say October/November, what were the early passenger train schedules from Brighton to Victoria? Was it direct, or did they stop...

Thank you so much. I thanked this forum in the Acknowledgments, because so many people contributed, but I couldn't add each name. I know you'll like it, and let me know if you think it lacks authenticity. :D

Apologies! I should have recommended this book a long time ago (because I wrote it). And I knew nothing of railways, but I can attest the parts that include trains were written by the members of this forum, so I think they are accurate. Why not read it and let me know?

Hello Ebbw, thanks for the purchase. Hope you can give me some feedback when you finally get around to it :-) 1616686175 .

Damn, I could have sent you one. I apologize.

Negative on both. Thank you so much for ordering the book.

Hello my railway friends - it's finally here on Amazon (March 2nd). I cannot thank you enough for all the assistance you gave me in writing this. I have included the first chapter if you might be interested. I've also included pictures of the faces I used for four of the characters in the book...

Hello Ebbw. They are saying it will be available on Amazon in March. :'(

Thank you gents for your perceptive comments, as usual. The car is a problem. First, however, I have decided to use the Calais/Dover route to return. But I will mention the Night Ferry as part of his internal discussion. The car: he has had a "French" car stolen in England and flown over on the...

Oh! Wow, I wasn't expecting it so soon! It IS on Kindle. But I fear the print book date on Amazon may be some way off. I've read through the BookBaby (the printers) information and it doesn't say. I'll ask them and see what they say. Thank you for your interest.

From the start I saw the problems with the car, but you have raised some more. I couldn't imagine him stealing a car in Belgium, so he has someone else steal a car in UK. Which one? Well, I assumed a French car would fit in well. They made the ID19 in England, so he would have a right hand drive...
