I can give you a very long story about tornadoes in relation to my life - and yet, in spite of it being one of my life-long ambitions, I've never seen one. I've had a few near-misses, the most recent of which was just a couple of days ago :cry:

I'll explain via PM if interested. If I post it here it will be far too long!

Anyway, Ardwick is also the first station out of a major city when heading on one particular eastern alignment.

Young gentleman....you flatter my age referring to 1993,,,,,,

Adwick. was opened in 1866 by the West Riding and Grimsby Railway
Ardwick was opened in 1842 by the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway

However, you did go to the trouble of naming Newstead, so I will say that...
