Had 'flu vaccination in October - absolutely no side effects at all. Had first Covid vaccination five weeks ago - absolutely no side effects at all.

What exactly is a passenger supposed to do in such circumstances?

I've seen The Cheviot from Scafell Pike so that adds another 132Km as the crow flies.

As also happened in 1951 but to the other party.

Keir Starmer.

Agreed - it most definitely isn't Durham.

Simple logic tells me that if only 23 letters are used only 1:529 plates would have the same 2nd and 5th letter. While out yesterday, I saw two examples - one P and one M. The only reason I saw them was because I was on a lengthy return bus trip so had time to look at the passing number plates.

Thanks for the responses. I lived there from 1957 or 1958 until 1968 so obviously would have seen and used steam locomotives (passenger).

Is anyone able to give me an approximate date for withdrawal of steam locomotives on the Fenchurch Street line, please? I'm particularly interested in the last (if possible) steam locomotive at Thorpe Bay station as I lived just one hundred yards from the station during the 60s until heading...

Got to be the lady with the voice as smooth as honey dripping off hot buttered toast - Jenny Agutter :wub:

In the last 50 odd years I've been asked twice for my ticket on a bus - within 30 minutes of one another and on different buses!

Use it midweek every August - very pleased with it.

Thanks for the replies - explains why I wouldn't know!

Mods: please move this if there is a more appropriate forum. I am sure I am not alone in having no idea about some railway specific terms. I only make about half a dozen train journeys a year and 95% of the stations I use are Durham, Kings Cross, Paddington, Redruth, Metrocentre and Carlisle...

Does kissing Jenny Agutter hello when she arrived at Durham and goodbye when she left count?

I am heartily sickened by the ridiculous posturing of some posters - why don't they do something of real value instead of mouthing off...

But - I thought it was all Gordon Brown's fault!

Sorry - that doesn't say they received their bonuses after the crash, just that they got away with it and received their bonus.

My heart goes out to those killed, injured and their loved ones. We must unite against such misguided evil-doers.
