There was the one return trip to Dover in BR days

They have a big operation in the city of Wakefield extending into the old Woollen area and also towards Pontefract and Selby. Wakey bus station is a sea of blue. First do urban Leeds as they are the old Leeds municipal with a bit of old West Yorkshire Road Car in the North, but they suffer from...

back in the day of the BR national timetable there was an international supplement. I used to love dreaming up obscure trips to places like Moskva nd Firenze when using 'foreign' names wasnt fashionalbe. The tables had letters rather than numbers to differentiate from the numeric tables in the...

I think we need to hire a Vickers level and staff to settle this one!!!

Its a hill from the pier to the chippy....

Always seems a drag up Cheapside past the Midland Hotel. If yhou look on Street view the gradient shows up against the horizontal courses of the stonework.

Has to go to Malvern Wells. No points at Gt Malvern. not sure there are any signals even.

Ah. so that how they made the liverpool - Glasgow portion become a glasgow - Manchester portion to rotate the stock. The portions had to go to manc for servicing, I believe

When i got to Gt Malvern station the train was there engines off and most of the lights off. Crew were sat outside Lady Foleys tearoom drinking tea and scoffing cake. No points at Gt Malvern. Trains go to Malvern Wells to reverse.

Rose grove used to be a major rail centre. Look at some maps from between the wars. Try the National Library for Scotland maps web site. Gannow Collery was close by and there were coke ovens.

Which way did it go. I imagine it would have gone through industrial Yorkshire somehow.

Id say its up hill from Hall Ings which I think of Bradford Centre

I must have misremembered about the ECS for the Rose Grove - Paignton. Sorry

Think the train started at Leeds. (Neville Hill?) Ran ECS to Rose Hill. Rose Hill has/had long platforms.

Turning up at Gt Malvern station for the quick hop to Malvern Link to find the next one was going to Weymouth!

Henley in Arden. Fair way from the centre too. Its in the middle of 1960s housing now

Ooh. I would check with transdev that the 59 will stop at the rail station.

Arnside Maybe Lancaster. Glossop Dinting Both Bradford stations.

It spoils Bustimes.org too. It fails to show the 555 as running from Lancaster to Keswick because the 2 halves are separate registrations. And there is the nonsense of the Skipton - Lancaster bus that is the 580, 581 then 81/82 for a through bus when it could be a 42/42A for the variation...

Consider the Derwent Water launch to get to/from the bus on the west side of the lake. Make a bit of a change from the bus.
