Three weeks ago, I took the train to Skipton, then a rather full Solo on Kirby Lonsdale coaches 75 to Malham. A rather hairy scramble up Goredale Scar took me to one source of the Aire near Middle House Farm, then across to the official source just above Malham Tarn, marked by a large rock. It...

Thanks Dale. I’m going away, so I’d better call an open floor.

I’ve started using tap-on tap-off quite a bit on First Doncaster recently. Apart from having to move schoolchildren out of the way, I would estimate conservatively that it doesn’t work one out of ten times. You can tap off on the driver’s machine though, thus blocking people getting on the bus.

White Hart Lane?

That’s right Dale. Near Berth without the compass point. All yours!

The font from the now-closed St James’s church in Little Raveley is now in Peterborough museum.

Ship is pointlessly about to dock in Wales.

@D6130 are you going to set a clue?

Appletreewick is also pronounced by missing out several letters in the centre of the name. (Wy…ndham; Ap…tr…ick).

Continuing my travels on the Aire, two weeks ago I walked from my home in the city westwards. I was wanting to walk near the river rather than the Leeds-Liverpool canal, but this was initially difficult. The canal was pleasant but really busy with dogs, walkers and bikes. However, I left the...

Old Edlington, in South Yorkshire, also has a redundant church.

It wasn’t on the 140/1 route was it? I thought about posting something and it would have been identical to yours. The other Arriva buses I saw at Castleford were nothing like as grubby, so perhaps this example slipped through the net.

But surely only Cross Country could improve the Leeds journey time by 30 minutes, which implies it’s on the Masbrough line, on the other side of Parkgate from the tram train halt.

Perhaps you went walking off the Buxton line somewhere?

Stand By Me - an everyday story of Cross-Country passengers.

Along the River Aire today from my new home in Leeds to Knottingley. Lovely sunny day, very busy with dogs and cyclists to Woodlesford, less so afterwards. Diverted to Fairburn village for a welcome pint at The Three Horseshoes. It was strange not seeing the cooling towers at Ferrybridge...

That’s right Dale - live long and prosper!

You have the right idea, but no cigar yet

Ok then. I really hope we can get this enjoyable quiz mobile again: Space captain’s high, and fake!
