    Older cars you have seen

    Saw an old Volvo estate drive past yesterday, 'W' reg possibly, North end of Doncaster. There's a well-looked after blue 2CV still running about in the same area, I see it quite often. A couple of open-top MG - I think - sports cars around Doncaster, regular visitors. Don't know if the 2CVs...

    Bleakest UK Station (Trivia)

    Was there the other day, the railway village is nice (and The Glue Pot is a great pub), but after getting off the bus from stand L the nearest street that looks like it's part of the town centre was a bit where all the nightclubs and fast food joints were. Bit similar to getting off the train at...

    Bleakest UK Station (Trivia)

    Thought I'd posted on here already, but it was another thread about Newhaven Harbour, a few that are local to me; Hatfield and Stainforth - situated near the old pit, old station building boarded up, a long walk down a grim path brings you out in a grim town Pontefract Monkhill - two ways of...

    Newhaven Harbour station - Britain's most insalubrious station entrance?

    Hatfield and Stainforth, a grim little underlit road off the main road through the rougher parts of a rough town.

    Budget hotels discussion

    Last few times I've arrived early at Travelodge they've let me check in slightly earlier; usually within the hour before (I think Woking, back in January, was my furthest ahead - around 14:15, on a Sunday though ... )

    Class 80x / IET Hate

    I find 331's a step down from the 333's, quite happy that the 333's are the usual Doncaster-Leeds traction now

    TRIVIA: Trains that are younger/older than they seem (that were in service from 2000 or later)

    Surprised the 30-ish year old 323's hadn't been mentioned already o_O

    Northern re-records 34 station name announcements with local pronunciation

    Was on a 333 with a bit of an issue yesterday, all stations on DON-LDS had an additional "the" in front of their names on arriving; The South Elmsall, The Fitzwilliam, etc ... the most disappointing Glastonbury line-up ever! :D
