    Inverness - John O'Groats in a day

    We did a trip in the 1990's, but this was some sort of promotion or special bus ticket. Can't remember the finer details, but it was service train Inverness-Truro then bought a ticket at Truro for a bus trip including a glass factory and John O'Groats, returning from Wick. Sent from my 4009X...

    Were toilet breaks during lessons allowed at your school?

    Back in the day (1970), no problem- kids went for a "break" ostensibly a toilet break, but they actually went for a sly smoke! Roll forward to 2015 and I was taking exams, kids could go but had to be escorted, this was altered so only ones could go if they had a pass. If I wanted to go I had to...

    Yes, the curve on the Bradford Interchange to Leeds line as it veers off from the Halifax line just after Mill Lane junction somehow seems sharper on a pacer. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    TV Regional News

    BBC Look North (Yorkshire edition) is often co-hosted by veteran Harry Gration. BBC Look North (Lincolnshire) has Peter Levy, not sure how old he is but was heard on Pennine Radio 235 (Bradford), one of the first IBA commercial radio stations. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Connections between Network Rail services and preserved lines

    er yes (apart from Sunday of course) but the point being using the current timetables you can plan a journey without having a 1-minute connection, or a 29-minute wait for a Bradford train eg. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Malaga to Cadiz to Córdoba to Malaga

    A previous journey from Málaga to Antequera with one change involved a separate ticket for each leg. Think you need a ticket for each train, including reservation, no standing allowed, so if it's full, you can't get on. Sent from my 4009X using Tapatalk

    Bus Service Numbers

    The old WYRCC did use the letter suffices, and on many routes, but these were usually limited to A, B or M (= main road route ?) as those were the only letters available on most "desti's" ? For example, the local Keighley- Morton- Bingley service had four variations in the route into and out of...
