Impeccable taste, there!

Stockport to Manchester must be up there. Or maybe Radyr to Cardiff.

Finally got round to this. Must go to Lincolnshire some time!

Run round at Cornbrook (alongside the Metrolink stop).

Isn't much of the freight through Piccadilly diesel hauled Freightliners from Trafford Park to points south? If so, send them via Northwich/Middlewich/Sandbach to hit the WCML, and Robert Gascoyne Cecil's your uncle...

Brest and Litovsk. Belarus.

Can't argue with that list (not read Robert Jordan, must look him out). I'd put Reaper Man top of the table for Pratchett, though! I agree in particular with "The Redemption of Althalus" being top notch - must read it again...

Where to start... Authors - John Grisham is excellent, as is Robert Goddard. Kathy Reichs' "Bones" series are excellent - however "Virals" and its sequels are garbage. Val McDermid is good, as are Ian Rankin and Peter Lovesey. Oh, and Iain Banks. I also confess a liking for Jilly Cooper...

The single M500 was 3038 and the T68 was Firebrand (1012 - which always turns up whenever I've used the metro!)

Shooting ducks in a barrel today! An appointment in Bury at 1.30 and nothing else vital to do all day meant a metrolink nedding session which scooped in 3005/09/15/25/30/33/38/47/50/54. And Eccles Wetherpoons for those that way inclined.

I sampled 2003 earlier on the Alty service. Most amusing on the way home to Rochdale. Normally, if a tram and train set off simultaneously from Victoria up the hill, the tram shows a clean pair of heels. However, tonight's drag race included 43013/062 on the high speed track recording thingy...

Belting film, with a "message" and lots of Myfanwy. Goodbye Mr Chips The Sea Hawk The Thief of Bagdad Tunes of Glory

1. Kodacolor Gold 2. Ilford 3. Fuji 4. Daguerrotype 5. How Green Was My Valley.

Ferroequinologist - a trainspotter who denies he spots trains. Equinonecroflagellation - flogging a dead horse. Labradoodle - oops, left the garden gate open...

Thank Jilly Cooper - I remembered it from one of her books!

I thought a neologist was a class 50 basher who commenced his/her hobby after about 1992...

Quark - the mating call of an upper-class duck. Stakeholder - an assistant vampire slayer.

You could save a further 20p by using a Manchester Wayfarer ticket (£11) and a CDR Parbold-Southport for the bit beyond Grindleford. Or, if there's a decent bus service Chesterfield to Matlock, you might save a.bit more by using the TransPeak bus.

I may be doing it an injustice, as I only passed through rather than visiting, but Battlesbridge on the Southminster branch seemed a tad remote.

Extend the Windermere branch to Ambleside, Grasmere and Keswick, with connections at Grasmere to the Helvellyn Mountain Railway…
