Well,that was a waste of time. I went into Clinton's on Saturday. They didn't have a single "Happy Train Drivers' Day" card in the shop. Must do better.

Indeed,their exemption lasts until 31st March 2028. https://www.orr.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2023-04/nymr-plc-railway-safety-regulations-1999-regulation-5-certficate-of-exemption-nymr.pdf

Were the information screens working?

First question. Are you guilty of deliberate fare evasion?

And also,will that kibosh the new coal mine near Whitehaven as I believe the coal was primarily intended for the steel industry?

There's a class 121 bubble car at Wensleydale.

By jove,you've got it in one.

Today on BBC Breakfast there was an item about a 5 year old lad doing a sponsored walk in aid of an air ambulance. All very admirable. A series of stills were then shown to illustrate his outdoor pursuits. I have attached a screenshot of one such showing him on a double track railway. This does...

They look like they are the correct length. Still in process of being closed in the still shown.
