Another excellent read from the Railway Detective Series!

Enjoyed the last few chapters while enjoying a few beers in the local pub!

A book that says “Murder on the Great Northern Railway” next to a half drank pint of lager!

Todays been good though

Today I’ve had a bit of a day out with no plan…

Started with walk from Arnside to Silverdale. Then headed to Carnforth and onto the S&C!

Today was about trying to rediscover the fun of travelling by train!

It’s not all doom and gloom in the north…

There are some nice shiny new(ish) trains to travel on!

Honestly… supporting local businesses isn’t as difficult as you might think…

Also bravo to apple auto correct… it corrected every single word to be near enough correct despite me typing them all incorrectly 😭😂😂😂😂

Another week is underway…

2025 seems to be zooming by! Scary to think it’s now only 79 days until Christmas 🤯🎄

yh they can be found down south... But not like in every shop like they are up here. In my experience places like B&M sell them in the south, but finding them in corner shops or supermarkets is rare.

Was on Kendal town service today which has only had a Sunday service for a couple of years. Started off slow passenger number wise. But of late it is becoming very well used which is rather good as people in Kendal are well aware of the 'use it or loose it' phrase!

It’s worth noting the staff was brilliant today! Doing everything they could to get passengers on the move.

Special mention to the staff on board the 1240 Avanti West Coast service from GLC to OXN who was great with announcements and trying to get as many bums on seats as poss!

Today I travelled home from Glasgow. #StormAmy indeed made this a bit challenging to say the least!

I was thinking: Should the rail industry be more resilient to weather related issues now?

Obviously safety is key, but is there a way to be safe, but keep the trains running?

Possibly the most forgotten viaduct in England…

Calstock viaduct is amazing and definitely worth a visit!

Went for a walk yesterday with some friends around Wetheral. Didn’t really take many photos as was just having a laugh with friends.

Definitely made the time to take a photo of the Wetheral viaduct. Even if the sun position wasn’t allowing the best light for the shot!
