Slight spelling error there. It should be Clydebank.

My bad, copied it over wrong from my log sheets.

Had a good looking indoor market place outside the station

Ah, you must mean the Clydebank Cooperative Society Building on Chalmers St. An utter gem of a building, whose use has sadly declined in the past few years...

It just makes it so easy that each stop you get off at on the Underground or DLR on average you only have to wait 2-3 minutes for the next train. The most I had to wait was 7 minutes and that was on the DLR.

 

[Techniquest]

I guess it doesn't help I need far less shacks than you in general mind

True, but with the rate I have been knocking them off so far this year it won't be long before I hit my 1000th. Think I may have to do something special for that one. Thinking hat is on.

Agreed there, unless it's island platforms (or those on the eastern end of the Central Line Woodford Loop) it is easier to linear bash the stations

 

[Techniquest]

Aye you'll be on 1,000 before the spring I reckon Andy. Got to be something unusual, worthy of note. I need to find out many I'm on. I did have Kite's spreadsheet but it'll be out of date by now and I don't have a copy here anyway.

I would not be surprised to near 1,500 by now...

Does your count include Light Rail?

 

[Techniquest]

Of course. Last I looked some months ago, my heavy rail count was well in excess of 1,100. At some point I'm going to try and find my sister's laptop with the stations spreadsheet on it. Then I'll obviously update it and get an updated count going on! A job for either tonight or Sunday...

Just had a thought.

999 - Reddish South
1000 - Denton

Will need to plan that one.

 

[Techniquest]

I need both of those, will have to plan a Friday in Manchester...

 

[Kite159]

Plan a Friday in Manchester to try and grab all 4 limited service shacks (Reddish South, Denton, Ardwick & Clifton)

 

[Techniquest]

There's good thinking, now I just need to wait for the boss to come back from holiday to get booking time off!

my count of 1012 is heavy rail only! Im catching up

 

[Techniquest]

Very much so, but don't forget you'll have done a lot of the ones I've done
