Dermot O'Leary a few years back. First class late evening Euston to Liverpool train. Don't think my daughters have yet forgiven me for not getting selfie with him lol. I was a fellow passenger.

Cheers. Useful to know.

Not been able to buy NW Rover online for at least the past couple of years.

They might ask if you walked out with all the passengers from the Avanti.

What ticket did you use or are you Priv?

I think the bigger risk would be RPIs at either Bank Quay or North Western than getting gripped on the train.

I like that he had 66 029 for haulage...

Thanks, you confirmed what I suspected. I thought I'd seen it written somewhere that it was explicitly excluded, but couldn't find it. I could see on the map it didn't appear to be allowed.

Is the GM Wayfarer valid on Avanti from Wigan NW to Warrington BQ?

I'd agree with TPE being the best of those I know well. It looks good on the 185s and on the Nova fleets. I think the Pendelinos look really good now - sleek which is good for the type of train they are. Better than they did with Virgin (and I quite liked that too).

First leisure trip today and first time using Northern's excellent Explorer 55 Day Ranger (£15.90). Day trip to Ulverston. Took the 08.18 from Wigan NW (195 131). Fairly quiet throughout. Spent four and a half hours in Ulverston. Wandered thru town to Ford Park and then up Hoad Hill to the...

What a disaster. I love this levelling up agenda.

Oh dear.

Think I'm doing a trip to Ulverston. Straight there on whatever 195 turns up, bit of touristy stuff, then wend my way back home via a few required units taking slight diversions if necessary.

Adolescent fun. But not justifiable in the real world.

I think I've probably done that. Not at Newcastle.

What are the Hadfield and Glossop nowadays?

You'll be knackered!

I can't remember my first one, but late 70s I always loved Liverpool Street. It was pretty much a dump, but for spotting for someone from the North West, it was a real treasure trove. Everything would be a cop.

Oh my, I'd totally forgotten about Goldies. I'll have nightmares now.
