Day one of this week's trip covered Crewe to Runcorn, and part of the Manchester to Chester line.
Day two was mainly Bidston to Wrexham and part way to Shrewsbury using a 2 zone North Wales Ranger.
I had hoped to do a few more but there were delays which turned into cancellations later in the day plus the weather turned very wet.
Day three was a tidy up to the east of Liverpool mainly in the Merseytravel Saveaway area.

A bit of a revalation for me on the Sat. For as long as I can remember I've been referring to the Station as Nailsea and  Blackwell (with a W). Only today whilst idly gazing at the name board whilst waiting for the Train did I realise my mistake!

Edit
Sorry that should have read 'with an l'!
