Splendid day out on the S&C, spoilt only by failed kettle causing some major schedule disruption. Appleby is a lovely town for a stopover too.

Good haul - but if you’d left it another 8 days you could have had an extra one!
I thought about waiting but saw a rare cheap fare for a day trip, so decided to make a start.
Need to go back for stations between Yatton and Taunton, so will add Ashley Down to that.

Ardwick was quite the contrast to Ribblehead 2 days ago.. Lots of delays and cancellations messed with plans and didn't get as much done on the Cumbrian coast as I planned.

Lots ticked off, but would have been more were it not for a panoply of signal failures, staff shortages, operational incidents and general late running.

A WM Day Ranger to try for my last 3 stations in the said Rangers area. And, as per my last attempt at this earlier this year, sadly marred by cancellations of about half ( or maybe more) of the North Warwickshire Line services!
So I ended up doing the following in a different order to the plan, and it took me a bit longer but at last I can now underline:
Danzey
Wood End
Wootton Wawen

For once, a day out where everything ran to time and glorious sunshine too. Marshlink services seemed well patronised which was good to see.
