As I have for the last few posts I'm writing this in the office becasue my PC at home is up it's own arse. No matter how I tried to get on-line last night I could so I haven't been able to add the pics of the Bike park at P'boro station. Unfortunately my works laptop won't accept any unauthorised hard or software so You'll all have to wait until I can get the PC at home sorted.

Nothing really to report on the travel front either. Both last nights 17.20 and this mornings 07.20 were bang on time, seat reservations were all in place and there wasn't even a special request from the guards to exit from cattle class either. The only thing I did notice was the lack of a trolly service last night but the main bar was open as normal.

Nice to see Shahmacher's back on the rails again as that means this sites authors are back up to full strength again. Hope you had a good time mate because life with GNER hasn't got any easier while you've been away. Having said that it hasn't got that much harder either.
