Not quite as mad, but I am doing Bo'ness as a day trip from East Hertfordshire on Saturday. Flight up, train back. I hope the sun stays out!
Now if anybody just happens to be passing Edinburgh airport at 8.30 on Saturday morning.....!
Well (and despite no lift offers!!!) I made it to Bo'ness. All transport worked well, Luton airport busy but security fully manned, early arrival at Edinburgh allowed me to take the first service with 20020.
The timetable got disrupted pretty quickly as there was wheel flat on one of the coaches of the main set. That and the occasional rain shower did not disrupt a really good day. The 37 was great as ever, 26038 with the blue train was wired but fun!
A great little railway. Buffet good if a little limited in hot food options. Staff good and stock in pretty good shape.
My only gripe is why not two trains at the same time - Birkhill or Kinneil fill in services would be good to improve the hourly service.
Now on the 17.30 ex Edinburgh back home. Enjoying a beer while I watch the world pass by.
Well done SPRS and visitors (GBRf, Colas and WCRC [Haymarket machine 47270])
