I've certainly never seen a note from any of the Crown Dependencies, had plenty of shrapnel over the years though.

I think conductors = guards in this case :) So you'd be ok on the train if I've read it right.

I found this from TFW: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://tfw.wales/sites/default/files/2023-12/Response%2520143_23%2520currency%2520denomiations.docx&ved=2ahUKEwilws261P6UAxVjQ0EAHSk6DvUQFnoECDoQAQ&usg=AOvVaw3XalpEwAIRaw_jmdBNw3Ur

This was over 10 years ago so maybe it was a £100 paper note I can't recall. I've had a fair few £50s in my time (the mate I mentioned before, I used to get him train tickets for away games which he would pay me for on a Saturday morning out of his Friday wages would often hand me one for a...

I had a Scottish one-er in England, backed Rigadin De Beauchene £10 on the nose 16/1 in the Grand National Trial at Haydock Park. Horse p*ssed up, went to collect but when the bookie reached into his satchel was only handed me three sheets of paper; the aforementioned ton, English fifty and...

I suppose a bit of padding under the new moquette is too much to ask? :D

Well it was 30 years ago in my case, I was then paid by cheque for a few years after that.

I was paid in cash for my first full time job, the weekly wage packet would usually include on or two bullseyes. I know a few people who still are, the boss goes to the bank friday lunchtime and withdraws the money for the lads over the counter including multiple £50 notes. So it's not that...

Gonna see if I can make this work: Thursday 9th Harwich-Hook overnight ferry Friday 10th Hook-Amsterdam-Hamburg Saturday 11th Hamburg-Hirtshals-Ferry to Bergen Sunday 12th arr Bergen in time for the tram museum. Have decided it might skip minitatur wunderland this time around as was only there...

Yes that looks like a good way to day to do it - will investigate thanks. Will definitely try to make the dates work so I can do this :)

Yeah I'm aware that I won't do it all, just threw in all the options in case some are not do-able so I have options. I think I'd make it if I took the overnight ferry from Harwich to Hook, allowing a pre-lunchtime departure from Amsterdam. I did Brighton-St Pancras-Brussels-Dusseldorf in...

Really need a like button, tyvm for your detailed reply mate will look into it on Monday, bedtime now - Watercress line in the morning

I’m planning an in interrail trip in July and any advice/tips would be much appreciated :) I have a rough idea of route/things to see but it is quite rough. I’m wish to set off Friday 10th July and return Sunday 26th July. I’m happiest sitting on a train enjoying the scenery rather than...

Cheers mate :)

Same - particularly ones with traction motors :)

Thanks - great news! Sorry, not sorry duff haters :lol:

Sorry to hijack this thread slightly, anyone know what's likely to be running on this sunday? This page is still showing yesterday and the day before's traction https://watercressline.co.uk/about/loco-roster/

Ironing boards either way but at least you get armrests and a table in first.

This pretty much but with the caveat that I don't want the sun shining in my eyes if I've forgotten my shades. Also for an extra special bonus a carriage with the pan up so you can hear the thud from the VCB at an OHNS :D
