It was indeed Shadwell - home station of a witchfinder-general?

A-Z Hotel is correct. Clean if basic, would use again.

22 March 2017 Waking reasonably early, I had a few hours to spare before the bus back from Victoria. First of all was the walk to Acton Main Line, where double winners 387135+387137 whisked me speedily into Paddington. Over to the old H&C platforms, and a Westbound train appeared first, so...

Dropping my bag off, I then walked through the back streets to my next required shack, at Acton Central. I'd had plenty of 378s, so was pleasantly surprised by winner 378234 appearing to take me through to Richmond, then a nice winning pair in 455863+455910 took me through to Queenstown Road...

Personal choice is a quizzing fixture, conveniently situated 50 yards away from the required shack at Ansdell and Fairhaven... :)

Enjoy, both of you ... :)

A late report from Saturday 25th March, when 185106 was good enough to burst (or leak, as it staggered in to York) on my return from a quiz at Thornaby. Disgruntlement was abated slightly by winner 185150 trundling in from Scarborough, to take me on to Manchester... :D

20/2/2017 - Tramming in The Village of Snot's People A couple.of years ago, I visited Nottingham, clearing the shacks on the old bit of the tram network and most of.the track.on the.southern extension before the electricity went off, curtailing my dayfirst a bit. Now was the time for...

260 for me.

4 February 2017 - A Cheshire Ranger Circumstances, including a change of job, had conspired to make this the first bash of 2017. Indeed, apart from an early morning tram ride on 3051 from Monsall to Oldham King Street, it was my first trip on rails of the new year. My new job, however...

Congratulations on 142001, a fine beast, and some of my localish.shacks, the only one of which I've actually visited.being New Mills Central! (Makes.mental note to do Newtown.by train, and walk DOWNHILL)

Finally off the mark for the.year, with the following: Alsager Longport Kidsgrove Congleton Hartford St Michaels Cressington Aigburth Winsford Widnes

No, no, a thousand times no. "Have a nice day", "See you later" or "Have a good one" are far less irritating than "unexpected item in bagging area". I'd personally.ban the wretched things completely, or at the.least forbid their use anywhere selling alcohol...:evil:

Nice report, and congrats on 318254 and the various other winners you tracked down. What's especially nice, though, is the ongoing story of the friendship between yourself and Mr & Mrs BT (and their cat!) Good on all three of you...:-)
