My spreadsheet says I'm now on 1459/26xx (needs a new station update as Headbolt Lane isn't on it, and possibly others!)

In between work and life, I managed to tick off 5 stations this month. I was down in Canterbury so did Selling and Kearnsey. Today I did Goldthorpe, Thurnscoe and Bolton-upon-Dearne, so have now done all the statiions between Leeds and Sheffield via both Barnsley and Moorthorpe.

481 done.

Lee - which is 33.3% of the national network complete. Might try somewhere slightly more glamorous for the next milestone ;)

Just one out of à planned 6 shacks ticked off today. That being Barking Riverside. A power failure in the afternoon scuppered my plans for the remaining shacks on the Gospel Oak to Barking Riverside line.

277 Amersham (another technicality as it is a shared station with the Underground - I have visited it before by Underground and this is the first time by National Rail)

Was intending to "plug a gap" on the Central Wales Line - not a good idea today - so switched to a different gap instead.

I'm back again at the Start of a very busy month for me, shack scratching wise!
Bank Holiday Monday April 1st
West Allerton
Mossley Hill
Edge Hill
Brunswick
St Michaels
Aigburth
Cressington

Was planning on covering the Chester/Ellesmere Port Lines but a failed Train on the City loop line put paid to that! So hit the Northern Line rather than the hurriedly arranged RRB Across the Mersey
