Ben Rhydding sounds a bit biblical (and a lot more likely than the hens all laying lots of eggs to feed the 5000 :) )

I suspect it may not be the answer you're looking for, but is Ecclesiastes a New Testament Book? And, from the Song of Solomon, we have Thine eyes are like the Fishpools in Heshbon, by the gates of Bath-rabbin - which, unlike Drem bin Shem, is a genuine quote!

Going abroad? Reset the controller/governor to the appropriate speed limit for your destination. Driving on private land? Turn it off. Speeding up to avoid accidents - decent point, but more likely to be accelerating from, say, 30 mph to avoid being rammed by a vehicle coming from the side. I...

Why ridiculous? Nobody should be driving at more than 70mph anyway, so why allow vehicles capable of speeds far in excess of that figure on the roads without a "governor"?

14 day ALR in 2010 highlights included: A dozen or so locos scored for haulage on NR Three diesel galas visited with concomitant red pennage Amongst other bits, the St Ives, Falmouth, Newquay, Looe, Severn Beach, St Albans Abbey, Bedford to Bletchley, Harwich and Walton on Naze branches...

Don't HGVs and buses have limiters on them so that they can't exceed speed limits? Perhaps its time for this to be extended to cars...

…and the fourth plague the Lord sendest against the land of Egypt was a plague of fireballs, and there was much burnage therein... Or maybe …and the fourth son of Shem was called Drem. He respecteth not his father and was exiled to the land of the Pictites…

As a wild guess, and to bump the thread - Maiden Newton?

Lets have a go then, starting from home and using each TOC once only. (I'm going by the NR website list - so including Island Line and the Gatwick/Stansted expresses but, lacking a passport, ignoring Eurostar.) So, here it is: Monday Rochdale - 0605 Northern to... Halifax - 0707 Grand Central...

That Daytripper looks excellent value. If you're into ticking off ferry routes, Gourock (ferry) Kilcreggan (bus) Garelochhead could form part of a positioning move for the evening skip...

I've done a couple of FOSS, both in connection with Swanage Railway galas. In 2006 I travelled to Bournemouth by road - actually a coach tour, with accomodation in Bomo - but I flagged the delights of Hardy's Wessex and Stonehenge in favour of a spot of track bashing! Route taken was...

As far as I can recall, 050 is the only one of Northern's 142's I've not had a ride on West of the Pennines. 024 seems to be particularly common on the Calder Valley for me!

Felixstowe-Harwich-Shotley is also a triangular service. I don't know if it still runs, but there used to be a boat service along the Irwell, from the Mark Addy pub to somewhere in Salford Quays, which enabled the prawn sandwich eating segment of Manchester United's support to avoid the hoi...

I may never do this, but researching it was fun... I've spent some time looking out a circular route around the coast of Britain, using public transport (train/tram/bus/ferry) and trying to backtrack as little as possible. Version 1 puts the coasts from Kyle of Lochalsh to Thurso and...

The usual good read. I'm particularly impressed at you typing it on a phone, which I personally find a pita (the acronym, not the kebab wrapping). Now to research 333 diagrams in the hope of tracking down the elusive (to me) '001 without spending too long at Shipley!

The gap between B and I is the gap between the fifth and sixth letters of the ten letter word "EXHIBITION", i.e. the centre of exhibition, or Exhibition Centre...
