Adumbrated Trip Report for London, 28/2 to 2/3 2018 (I ran into an old friend - Hi Rob - yesterday, who said he was looking forward to my trip report. I'm a bit busy at the moment, so some snippets will replace the usual verbosity...) Megabus down to London. Well done, for minimising the...

Great Central Railway is well worth a visit. And possibly the Bell Foundry museum - saw it on the tellybox and it looked fascinating.

Thanks for the local gen, Keith. Very useful re Sainsbury. You may wish to warn your neighbours that my provisional thoughts include making a visit to St Helier some time on Thursday evening (thinking of doing my missing shacks on the Sutton roundabout last that day, as can easily finish at the...

Fairy 'nuff. See you at somthing random, like the 2021 Sharpness Railway Diesel Gala... :-) In seriousness - do what you enjoy, and don't let anyone judge you!

Cheers LSG. Need to source a ticket for the match (£10 - nice one Spurs:-) ). Transport will be the 350 option from Crewe. Just had a look at off peak fares from London to Cambridge - very tempted by an Anglian day of shack and 37407 (if its not burst yet) scratching on the Friday...

Will check with Megabus, but probably irrelevant anyway, I think I'll do the Stoke option in any case as a return is £1 more than a single, and a Rochdale supporters club coach is festooned with more anoraks and cheese sandwiches than any spotters special that's ever run. Hostel is the Rest Up...

And then bowled out, not to say blown away, by last night's football result...:-) OK, so Megabus possibly sacked (certainly the outward journey!), accomodation booked (£21 for two nights, excellent value, single room at hostel on the New Kent Road). Journey down will be via coach IF Rochdale...

Been tempted by the Megabus. £14 return Manchester to London, leaving in the small hours of Thursday morning, arriving back Saturday afternoon. Commodities brokers are already stockpiling red ink in preparation...:D

Some good days out there. I'll miss the pacers, too...:frown: ...but if their going leads to loco-haulage across the Pennines again, I'll put up with it! :E

:-) Problem is, its only the older members on here (probably) who would get it...:oops:

Me too! From memory: 7xanything 8xanything 332 379 385 (if in service) 373/374 442 (embarrassingly) 483 (?) (Isle of Widget tube jobbies)

16th February 2018 - Fareway to Heaven? Another Friday, another day off. So another trip out, naturally. Today's target was shack-clearance par excellence. Any winners would be a bonus! First up was a trip to Spoons for a sausage breakfast roll, then off to the bus station to acquire a GM...
