all (or the vast majority) of HSTs are being taken off London - Sheffield and are now going on to London - Nottingham, of which a couple are being extended to Lincoln via Newark Castle. All meridians will go on to Sheffield trains

Owch well the people living between derby and sheffield will have to deal with mainly just XC HST's like the rest of us.

yh, as when 222s are on peak time trains, all the passengers are stuck standing up, but on a HST, there is a lot of space, except for that one we saw when me and miles came back from Chesterfield!!!

For those not on the Spoons to Skeggy, the now infamous "Jellybean Incident"

This involved Gizzy eating a jellybean we found on the floor for a packet of Mini Cheddars (which I helpfully chucked at a fellow passenger-by accident....)

see you're making good use of my filters already! Although obviously they'll work better once you've got the 58mm adapter ring. I see you especially like the star effect one with headlights!

one for Yorkie :lol: http://www.gizmogle.fotopic.net/p53381446.html

lol!

In Preston last weekend, walking the travelodge late in the evening, we saw a rather odd looking shop called "Hell mart" in black and red lettering. It was scary. Just as we stopped to look at it, someone cycled by on a black bike, wearing all black, including a black hood/cape. No lights. Someone took a photo, not sure if it came out though, if it did, I am sure 'Death' would be interested! <D

Having a northern accent is unfortunately nothing to be proud of.

Could be worse, I have a bit of a Welsh accent (unfortunately) that crops up every now and again. Of course, I get accused of being Welsh, but I'm not!

When i met you on that Derby jolly you sounded like a right northerner.

and when I hopped on the train, your face suddenly lit up as i came down the aisle of the train. No one else looked round though. bloomin kids, being noisy, and the conducter asking what we were doing
