And I was intending to get one last shack before the night's out, but my train's just dropped 20 minutes at Blair Atholl, so I'm not likely to make the connection

The view of the morning sun cutting through the arches of Harringworth Viaduct was splendid.

Probably not the best use of a Northern freebie day ticket but that area is expensive otherwise (no day rangers)

What's it called? It's called Cumbernauld
26 April

Horwich (Horrible) Parkway
Hall i' th' Wood (although I already scored that a few years ago, it was arriving there by bus from Bromley Cross to board)
Burscough Bridge
Hoscar
Bescar Lane
Parbold

As I was using the Lancashire Day Ranger, I thought I might as well attempt some of the stations that are in the abyss between Merseyside and Greater Manchester PTE areas.

That is impressive, especially if it was on a board/alight basis (in case you were wondering, I do our in non-b/a stations, but in italics)

Thanks, all of the stations that I visited today (except Battersea Park and Queenstown Road which I walked between) I alighted one service and then waited for the following service to board.

Tyndrum Upper (A)
Lower Tyndrum (B)
Roy Bridge (B)
Falls of Cruachan (A)
Loch Awe (B)

Another 5 stations revisited, leaving 5 of the stations between Fort William & Mallaig to do for the West Highland line which is a job for June.

Amazing how far you can get on a Greenfaulds - Cumbernauld season ticket :lol:

Thankfully the rain decided to clear away for Falls of Cruachan as I wouldn't have liked spending 85 minutes under that little shelter on the bar seat, assuming it wasn't soaking wet
