Currently it is in Darlington and it is proposed to move it to Shildon Locomotion, as a result Darlington are upset.

I see that Durham County Council want to make part of the closed railtrack bed from Barnard Castle to Broomielaw into a walk. This mad me think of all the good cycle rides I've done. I have been cycling a number of redundant railway tracks as well as canal tow paths over the past 4 years. I...

On tonight's NE news DB have been found negligent for letting a 14yr lad enter a site and getting electrocuted.

After reading the most hated bus ride, how about the best. If it’s excitement you’re looking for try Sidmouth to Beer via Branscome, the lane is only the width of the bus so when it meets oncoming cars it is very entertaining. I always have a ride on it when I’m in the area it’s like Alton Towers.
