Another word for stoat, besically.

Or, IMHO, someone who is on a station so often, they become a part of it, and get called veg, hence a vegetable patch. ;)

If you want to see a good veg patch, get to Doncaster....

On friday, while I was waiting for the (delayed) 0755 to KGX, there was quite a few people there already. Returning home last night on the 1625 ex STP, there was still about 10 or 15 people there just vegging....

Yes, but remember, some of those people may just be there for 30 mins or so while waiting for a train, which IMO doesn't make them 'Veg', only so if they stay there all day/are there nearly every day...

Well, I'm certainly not classed as veg! Maybe I could even be classed as a cool rail enthusiast ;)

We all know you love your 158s ;)

As for Barnetby, well, I guess I used to, but the weedkiller train came through so nowadays I tend to stick to lineside spots ;)

Some of the Donny regulars sit in the middle of platform 4 all day, despite the fact most things pass behind platform 4 :???:
Or some have set days, such as the 'Dolly Parton' man as I nickname him, who comes every tuesday from Hebden Bridge and has a habit of talking to me while I wait for my train, the nickname stuck because he told me he 'met Dolly Parton and went to her Texas ranch' :lol: :lol:

A man of taste - lineside spots are far more interesting, and you don't have to be worried about random members of the public, chavs etc.

And 158s are decent units!

By the way, remember that regular York stoat we spotted? We should be...'The Stoat Busters!' ;)

In a dream, surely?

I should think so :lol:
His other favourite stories are the time he drove a 144 over Huddersfield viaduct, and where Richard Branson asked him to take a photo of him, and because he agreed, gave him a free 1st class Virgin ticket for a year :roll:
