Just looked through every single picture
Very interesting to see all the Irish stuff as I've never been before. Think I may have seen some of the "Thumper 150" things that Yorkie is crazy about.
Looks like you had fun though.
How did it all go? Any delays mess things up? Did you have it all planned before you did it?

Cheers pal,

The majority of it was planned out in advance, but the Sunday was messed up seriously as I had planned to go from my Uncles in Longbridge to Aberystwith, and return, but I didnt realise that the road to Wolves was shut.

Ireland was all planned out well in advance, the second week was mainly on the hoof to be honest though, it was a final tribue to GNER, just constantly on the ECML really!

Didn't have a lot of delay, although I got really frustrated when I did the Flying Scotsman from KGX as its fast from PBO to YRK, and we nearly got held at RET, thankfully the siggie cleared us through Doncaster!
