I'm going to Scarborough and back on Monday. Then in August I'm doing a little mini ALR type trip around Wales and S&C. Also should be doing a Scotland ALR type trip thing in the Summer too!

god it'd be awful if we had the metric system :roll: it is odd how NET trams use the metric system, sort of the odd one out

I said ALR type trip. Meaning the person I'll be doing it with (Dan most likely) will be on the appropriate rover. I'll be doing it on boxes.

You are a gent!

I couldn't find my Quails either!

 

[Respite]

So I will ask again, does driving them count for the comp?

Oh & something (other) that annoys Me, with ERTMS on the Cambrian, the speed & mileage boards are being replaced by KMPH & KM's.

 

[Gizmogle]

I answereeed beforeeee! (Okay, maybe I didnt.)

Plus it's in the initial post!

Mileage for commuter and leisure purposes only.

Driving doesn't count

 

[Respite]

Blast!



But I like driving so it's kinda like leisure!

 

[Gizmogle]

But that's not fair!



You'll see! When I become Miss England, I'll be practically living in Pendo cabs!

 

[AlexS]

Here's an idea. If Shane can deal with the banality of having to work out the exact mileage of 5 month or so's worth of turns, he can be included. It'll take him about 3 months anyway which gives the rest of us time to catch up

 

[Jord]

Miles = 2640
Chains = 614

So altogether = 2648 miles

Admin Edit - 2647m 54ch

 

[Gizmogle]

Oh dear I think Jordy might just overtake me when he gets back.

 

[P156KWJ]

if he made it! his train was late from Grimsby, was going to meet him at Newark, but I had to get that train

Add 135 miles please to mine

 

[Gizmogle]

He made it. He was A stock bashing earlier.

659 miles is that then, 156401?

 

[P156KWJ]

yeah, can't be bothered to count but I'm sure you're right

Darn wish I was in Laaandaaaan today, and A stock wouldn't be bad! Was too hot today though on Grantham station, so it'd be bad on one of those I spoz!

 

[D306]

Trust me, you don't want to be in London on the underground on a really hot day. Add 10 degrees c to the outdoor temp and see what you get on the underground

 

[P156KWJ]

summer 2006 was really bad! there were loads of people just randomly passing out, and FGW people at Paddington were just giving away Ice Creams and Water! Can remember the darn networker that day! Hot as hell!

 

[voyagerdude220]

I still think that my current 8/14 is very respectable, considering the fact that i'm not able to add to my mileage as freely, or cheaply as other members appear to be. *cough* gizmogle *cough*

 

[Gizmogle]

Hey, I'm on a priv, but I'm still getting completely owned by Jim!
Mintona is ahead of me too, and Jordy should overtake me by the time he gets back.
Pfft

 

[me123]

Think you're bad? I'm not even in the top 10!

I'll be lucky to get 3,000 this year I think.

 

[Gizmogle]

It's just the fact that I could kick all your asses! ...but just don't.

I mean...no job, no college, free travel. I should be owning you all!

Although, I'm sending in a job application for the Buxton Advertiser soon Hope I get it!
