And no doubt 'The Hawain' will be there!

I can assure you that a plusbus ticket is one that a driver will not see very often.

From memory (ex Driver) Stagecoach Midlands in Northampton charge a flat fare of £1.00 to/from the railway station and the bus station. I have an ENCTS pass, and the journey from my village into Northampton is just before the 09.25 start of the concession time, I pay £1.80 to the next village...

No, according to my new Quail diagrams book, there is no access to P4 from the North within the local area, the closest crossover is at Shelwick Jcn, but I doubt anything can be signalled that way.

I remember this very well...
