As it now looks likely that I will be away from the quiz on Friday, 28th December, participating in my very first forum meet, it will be late in the evening of that day before I can participate on that particular day

Well, that was some journey and one to remember. Donibristle Halt was indeed the final closed station.
Please bear with me whilst I decide which of my stock of journeys to launch next.
