Did I tell you I took a trip out to Wrexham? By the way this is one of those jump back in time posts as I went down to the North Wales town in the run up to Christmas so it kind of got lost in the merrymaking etc. I’ve a choice of two rail routes to get there, yes I like trains, there’s the quick route from where I […]
First of all, Happy New Year!! Yes I know it’s the sixth of January and 2020 is getting into it’s stride but I have been busy.

I’d picked one of the Warrington stations, Bank Quay on the main line, to collect my tickets from, it’s only a short train ride and should have been an easy run there and back. […]
Chester is a place I like to dip in and out of. It’s not too far away making it an easy journey by rail from one of my local stations. It’s a city steeped in history, from Roman times onwards to the present day. Each time I go I find another corner, another architectural detail that somehow I had missed before. To keep things a little bit fresh I took […]
