Yesterday evening sort of ran away and hid from me so here’s how my cake hunting finished up. The cake turned into a bagel. A favourite stopping off point is the cafe Toast on the station at West Kirby. It’s so easy for me to trot off the train, through the barrier and around the corner and in.

Time now for the next stage of my coffee and cake hunt. To the Wirral by the Merseyrail Wirral Loop Line ! In some ways this post has similarities with the Newcastle Metro I posted about previously. Both are largely based on conversations of existing rail routes, both are electric, Newcastle overhead, Wirral Loop 3rd rail and both have underground sections.

No not the one in Paris but the Geordie one that circles the coast through Whitley Bay before diving back under the city and the River Tyne before it heads out to Sunderland and beyond. Apart from the two tunnels under the city the rest of the route is made up of converted rail lines which had reached the end of their days and were threatened […]
