Is it that 'x' in the top right of the screen? ;)

I love doughnuts myself, but more filled doughnuts as opposed to the classic American 'Homer Simpson'ringed doughnut with sprinkes. Vanilla (custard), chocolate and banana being particular favourites of mine! Although I must say I never eat them before bed, leads to chronic indigestion!!

We all love cake, so I have opened a thread for you to list your top 10 favourite cakes> here are mine: (Also I don't want the thread to become a tit-for-tat argument about what is and what is'nt a cake) Eccles cake Iced madeira filled with jam and buttercream (classic birthday cake)...

I have a friend who GENUINLY classes Barnet as northern England, its just crazy!

Haha superb trinityboy, it truely is a remarkable video seeing steam run on metrolink metals is simply majestic!! T_R_W

In addition to this steam and diesel services have run the metals along the metals down the Radcliffe section...

I am surprised this one has not been mentioned already but.... When the Metrolink was opened in the early 90's the ELR sent a 'Thomas the Tank Engine' replica steam engine overnight down the line to Queens Road Depot for promotional reasons. This lead to a rather belearingly drunken man claim...

Very little progress has been made over the last few years, the website is poor, locomotives and rolling stock look scruffy, site itself looks scruffy. With a tidy up and expansion fulfilled it has the potential to be a great line. Especially with steam running.

Hi Bertie, If I was a multi-millionaire and had the strength of a thousand men I would. Thanks Bertie.

Cumbria is home to 5 significant railways, 3 we see and hear about reguarly, the short but delightful standard gauge Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, and the two narrow guage railways Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in the west and the Alston Railway in the east. However the Eden Valley...

Thanks for the info DMU, I really want to ride the line but only when fully operational.

Arguably the worst railway station in Britain: Bolton. Horrendous, grey, grim, depressing.

Is there any time in the year when the whole line is operational? Really would like to visit but only when the whole line is in use. Thanks.

Sorry to interupt but is the current timetable similar to the one on this link, been meaning to do a 'trip' for months, from Preston (Lancs).... http://www.railtourinfo.co.uk/locohauled17.html Thanks, TRW

Looks like Carnforth to me, she spent many 'happy a day' there, ableit on the wrong side of the country :wink:

Over-excited apprentice fireman maybe?? ;)

Excellent post! Sums up my opinion entirely.

Im foaling a little hoarse after reading this, need some red rum had my eyes glued to the screen too long. Hoof hearted??

Thanks for the response, especially Phil - great to find out such info - its looking likely that Castleton station is looking most likely/viable. Its a great line, local to me and has come so far in the last 15/20 years. So proud.
