At least. A regular move for us was the Cambridge - Skegness through train, on a Sunday. Again, like the Saturday additionals has fell by the wayside. Partly due to the fragmented system. Equally, and now off-lease are the 156's sat festering at Ely. A victim of DfT politics.

I agree. However, those passengers from Grantham towards Skegness are being penalised by the TOC. It isn't an easy situation to resolve.

Even one of those additionals called at Grantham on its outward journey, but neither called on their return trip. EMR prefer to encourage people to use the supplementary buses. However, they extend the journey time. Remember a few years ago they replaced a timetabled service train with the...

Grantham Town 1 Bedworth United 6 In a game that was a 'dead rubber' for both sides, it proved a disappointing end to a depressing season for the Gingerbreads. Whilst we played some good football, it was a bit of men vs boys stuff at times. A big thank you to all the players and i wish you well...

OP's question already answered. But, from experience, P-way Section Managers aren't always complimentary when the train passes through their area.

St Peter's Church in Firle has a John Piper stained-glass window in warm colours, depicting Blake's Tree of Life. John Egerton Christmas Piper CH (13 December 1903 – 28 June 1992) was an English painter, printmaker and designer of stained-glass windows and both opera and theatre sets. John...

Cotesbach, Leicestershire was another location where the Midland Revolt occurred. The Midland Revolt was a popular uprising which occurred in the Midlands of England in 1607. The riots were a protest against the enclosure of common land.

There should be some parking available there. Press the intercom at the gate for access, and remember to reverse park in the space. Walk up the ramp/steps to the access door and press the intercom there too.

Blackpool is referenced in the Half Man Half Biscuit song '1966 and all that'. The HMHB song 'The Referees Alphabet', brings us to Yate, and describes the town as "the place Referees come from

Chislehurst, Kent also has a cave system in its locality.

Though two different Eau. The novelist E. M. Forster (1879–1970) lived at 19 Monument Green, Weybridge from 1904 until 1912. There's a monument to Forster in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, near Rooksnest where Forster grew up.

Occupation bridge at Barkston (site of former East Jct. - though the deck has been removed), an Occupation bridge at Wilsford, Sleaford bypass and Fendyke Road, Firsby.

Cattistock previously hosted the Dorset knob throwing event. A Dorset knob is a kind of hard, dry, savoury biscuit from Dorset which is very crumbly and has the consistency of very dry stale bread or rusks. Swaton, Lincolnshire hosts the World Egg Throwing Championships.

I wouldn't count that as a controversial point. That should be the basis of a reliable and sustainable transport system.

Frongoch in Merionethshire, Wales also had an internment camp. Primarily used for prisoners of war during WW1, but also for approximately 1,800 Irish republicans from the 1916 Easter Rising.

Long Eaton 4 Grantham Town 0 Another defeat for the already relegated Gingerbreads. This gives them the sobering stat of not winning any away league games this season. The only away wins being at the start of the season, all in the FA Cup.

Yes. Some locations have motor worked semaphore signals. Mainly distant signals, but the odd stop signal can be like that. Electrically worked points have a form of facing point lock in their operation. Ground frames can be electrically released, sometimes these can be remote from the...

Holy Trinity Church is a redundant Anglican church on Low Lane in the village of Wensley, North Yorkshire. It also has a church organ built by Abbott and Smith. Christ Church in Sowerby Bridge also used to have one of theirs, though since replaced.

Don't hold yer breath there... Management have made decisions to allow route knowledge to lapse. For example, Lincoln traincrew no longer sign for the Skegness line. This precludes diversion of Lincoln - Nottingham services via Sleaford. So, these things aren't as cut and dried as some may think.
