Never thought I'd rave about GM locos, but 079 on the Ballina branch with a keen driver was an absolute blast, where else can you get heads out thrash with an ageing loco and 3 coaches on a beautiful rural branch line without needing a passport to get there? Travelled to Ireland via Holyhead...

As Wumpty has already confirmed, that signal doesn't apply to the bay approach track. Don't worry though, I made the same mistake myself once during a post pub BVE session:-)

The junction.org has these as running mon_fri and sat but the diagrams for both only say saturdays. Do they run during the week? Confirmation much appreciated.

There should be a fairly regular steam service(two or three days a week) along the Esk valley line between Whitby and Glaisdale again this summer.

re Sturdjos problem Probably a daft question-but-is the red signal on the right hand side of your train, just before Riverside?

N trance-set you free. One of the few dance bands that make the grade for me.

Rummaging through some bags from my old house have unearthed the GNER timetable for weekends 11 sep to 11 dec 2004. Saturday departures 11/9 to 30/10 Carlisle depart 07:58,08:56,10:01,10:58,12:01,12:59,13:59,15:01,16:01,17:01,18:01,19:00. arrival at Newcastle 09:30 then xx:30 apart...

Hmmm. I would! On the subject of female rail travellers, an ex of of mine once proclaimed that the roar of a locomotive on full throttle was more thrilling than any motorbike she'd ever been on, an opinion also echoed by my older sister who whilst travelling with me in the 1990s proclaimed that...

Love will tear us apart-Joy Division. The guy suicided shortly afterwards. Hurt-Johnny Cash Seasons in the sun- Terry Jacks. Sad and depressingly cheesy in a 70s way. Fields of Athenry- the Dubliners. Almost any country song, but for self indulgent misery try one of these-Home for sale or...

Cannot confirm exact times yet (believe it or not I was using the GNER timetable as a bookmark and have lost it somewhere) but IIRC departures from Newcastle where approx xx:30 during the morning then shifted about half an hour around 13:00 (certainly the 11:30 followed the 11:24 Northern...

Any bus drivers on here that can explain these daft rules further? After all there are far more dangerous items in the average bag of shopping-caustic oven cleaners, oxidising bleaches, compressed butane gas in aerosols to name just a few.

Perhaps the bus should have been fitted with anti 'roll' bars......Sorry folks...

Reckon thats Wylam. If you ever get up this far the Boathouse just out of of wiew is a canny pub. I really should stay in more.....

Class 10 GCR- I give up after this LOL

Class 11 mhr?

08 shunter? Even through beer goggles this one is difficult

Correct, Haywards Heath(didn't even notice the sign-blame the cider)-the pic was a bit wobbly after drinking in the pub just outside the station with my non railfan mate-plus the lass in the photo seemed to think I was photting her...

Ok then 67?

Wild guess-321?

Knaresborough was another location I was gripped by a railway zealot in full regalia-"Settle Carlisle round robin sir? Not valid via Harrogate sir...That'll be a single to York sir...." still worth it though. Anyway, next station.
