Great! This journey probably won't last very long - I'm not sure how far we'll get with it.

Judging by the lack of activity on the quiz sub-forum I'm guessing I'm not the only one to have been making the most of today's sunshine while it lasts!

GENERAL INFORMATION
We returned home from our holiday in West Sussex on the stroke of midnight Saturday night/Sunday morning and I have been monitoring that last long leg that I set before we set off on holiday.
Just a few observations:-
1)...On the Tees Valley Line, after Cargo Fleet, you could have used Grangetown (Closed 1991) than as the preamble said, then took the line of the NER Saltburn to Brotton line and used North Skelton
2)...Metheringham is still an open station
3)...On the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway, after Attercliffe Road, there was Grimethorpe Bridge (1838-1843)

I am unsure how many contestants are aware that the top half of the introductory preamble of this "bonus" quiz repeats a number of lines as far down as the Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway that were very recently used on journey 412.
Just for information's sake, when this leg is over, the sequential journey series will commence again at journey 424, which is also a leg starting in Scotland.

Welcome back, Paul!
As you probably realise, I started this leg to keep things going while you were away. I'm sorry if it's too similar to a recent leg we've had; I just used the first places that popped into my head. I look forward to journey 424, which I daresay will be more organised than this one.
I think that the reason why Metheringham was mentioned was that its old name was 'Blankney and Metheringham'; this may have misled whoever mentioned the station originally. I think that we'll all probably take care when we're next on that route.

If you prefer, we could always stop this journey once we've reached the end of our present line and start yours. It was only ever meant to fill the gap - and there is now no gap to fill. On the other hand, we could keep going - it's down to personal preference.
On reflection, perhaps I should have chosen a shorter journey.

I am quite happy to continue with this particular "bonus" journey as quite a number of postings have already been made upon it.

I realise that this is, on reflection, a very daft comment. I didn't mean to accuse other users of ignoring me in order to offend, but I kinda felt as though I was jumping in out of turn - that I was starting a journey just because I wanted to, subconsciously. I know that that's not true, but I didn't want any of you guys to think that it was. It's just worded badly; if you think you're being ignored and you don't comment on it, then how will you get a response? - though this was all stupidity as I wasn't being ignored in the first place. I'm sorry for this - probably my imagination running away with me (see below) - and also sorry in case you thought I was chasing you up on this and you had to reply.
In any case, I was in what John Buchan and his colleagues would probably call a 'pretty blue funk' - which was due to the lethal combination of work, exams, tiredness and a head cold. This, on reflection, was the reason why I thought I was being ignored - and this was why I posted that message, not any sort of thinly-veiled insensitivity. I would hate that to have been perceived.
In any case, I've probably blown this way out of proportion, so I'll stop here.
