    Carry On films

    ITV3 are currently showing back-to-back Carry On films, which really is a bonus for me as I’m a big fan of the films, especially mid-period Carry On. Not sure what it says about current TV when the preferred Christmas night viewing in our house is something made approximately 50 years ago...

    Michael Portillo filming at Stoke station today

    Just seen Michael Portillo and a film crew on platform 2 at Stoke. He looked like he was about to board the 1734 EMT to Crewe but I can't be too sure as I was getting on the 1733 to Derby. Lots of stock footage being filmed too. Interestingly enough, the EMT guard on my train seemed to be...

    Drax Flyer passing through Altrincham tonight

    Tonight the Drax Flyer passed through Altrincham pulling a 2nd loco, which I didn't get the number of. There were no attached limestone wagons. Recently I have seen a number of locos-only going through Altrincham (for years I've been used to seeing the 'ICI' trains going through so it's often...
