Right from all that, WCML is cleared from Euston to Edinburgh, only three shacks remain on the Shotts line, everything in the SPT Daytripper area is covered, plus Glasgow Subway has been cleared and Edinburgh Trams recleared for visiting every stop, which means all 'light' rail within GB has been visited

I'll bet some of those were a joy to visit. I recall some oddities hanging around Garrowhill and getting serenaded by a bunch of dogs down a bizarrely path-less road in Nitshill

Garrowhill I was only around for a couple minutes due to various crowd related delays, and didn't do the walk at Nitshill

An epic collection Kite! hock:

 

[djpontrack]

I had to do some Christmas shopping in Manchester today but managed to get a new shack. Eccles was done as there is replacement buses from Man Vic. That leaves just Patricroft to do on the Chat Moss line from Manchester to Liverpool

What was the service level like for the Blackpool Tramway?

Every 15 minutes Starr Gate to Fleetwood, standard off season. Reasonably busy, as well.
