British Steel Redcar

Even got it as a special stop order when the 16:30 Saltburn - Bishop Auckland service decided it wanted a little break at Saltburn and got cancelled

Although there is one more station in England I want to revisit as I'm not happy about how I've got it scored in my book

Well done. I assume you got off? Was the gate shut when you came out?

Gate was wide open

A couple things picked up during my audit

2/10

Finchley Central (LU)

I'm 90% sure I've previously used it but it doesn't appear in my logs so I suspect a mistake was made back in 2014 when I did the branch to Mill Hill.

West Ruislip (Chiltern platforms)

A slight annoyance as I only had it down as LU platforms so wanted to get it done via the Chiltern side.

 

[noddy1878]

Gate was wide open

Easier than climbing round it like i had too then!

I saw your tall gates, underneath a bridge. They were wide open with a half-barrier & cones by the security hut. I think the security guard just looked up when he saw me walking out, before returning to their hard work (probably watching the football!)

Took me just under 40 minutes to get back to Redcar Central, that includes going the wrong way at the start and following Google's instructions which put me on the wrong side of the tracks.

----

Anyhow I have finished my audit, no more issues have been flagged up (although the only one I would revisit is Poole as the only entry is for that 458 farewell tour, with knowledge that I've previously used the station before I started logging), so I can now say...

England, Tick.

Peartree.

Thanks to EMT for the SSO this morning allowing me to get a train in/out after 153319 took a dump at Derby! (I was planning to go out to Tutbury & Hatton and then to Peartree and then back out towards Stoke).
P.S. Make sure your cellphone is charged, as I buzzed to be let out twice and ended up calling control to be let out; a number is on the gate.

Brilliant going, saw the twitter like from Allthestations.
Only on about 810 myself ...

 

[Gathursty]

Well done Kite! That is very impressive. Our little club increases by one.

 

[gazr]

Congrats, Kite... amazing achievement and one I plan on doing on day... not for many years I fear.

Ardwick : second visit to score outbound platform. Now scratched. Be careful on the steps!

Many hearty congratulations, Kite!
