SNAPSHOT! Hereford, A signal Failure.
It all started so well. The plan ( make plans and the gods laugh ) was to be a gentle train ride down through Chester, Shrewsbury, the Welsh border and into Hereford. The plan was working until the train I was on reached Shrewsbury, where the station signalling system decided to have a sulk. For about half an hour the train and us sat waiting, almost within touching distance of […]
SNAPSHOT! Rivington, At Speed.
Rivington on the West Pennine Moors is an area I like to visit ( I direct you to previous blog posts for evidence of this ) . It’s criss crossed by a spidery web of twisting roads and lanes that attract riders of the motorized and unmotorized variety. Weekends are popular for these meet ups, the Top Barn especially, a three B’s kind of thing, a Bike, a Burger and […]
SNAPSHOT! Earlestown, An Unexpected Coffee.
So you’re traveling to meet up with a friend in Liverpool, so you check the train times and make your plans. But when you get to the station the train you wanted has mysteriously vanished off the arrivals. The next one is in 45mins. It’s cold so do you A. Wait freezing on the station? Or B. Go somewhere warm and have a coffee? Guess which one I picked……… I […]
SNAPSHOT! Blackpool, Evening Along The Prom.
I finished off my day with a walk along the Promenade. Even on a “brisk”March evening with a cold, lazy wind that cut through you rather than go around Blackpool’s perpetual party atmosphere was already bubbling. I was traveling back from Blackpool South railway station, a half forgotten fragment tucked away at the bottom of Waterloo Street, not as upmarket as the North station but it’s single platform is a […]
SNAPSHOT! Fleetwood, Ice cream, Sunshine & A Little Lighthouse.
Leaving the market I headed out to the promenade. The sun was glorious with only the shadows hiding a cool edge to the day. That said people were out and about enjoying the first bursts of almost spring warmth, throwing off the shackles of a winter that is in danger of overstaying it’s welcome.
