Arrival in Bangor went trouble free. The train was a “proper” one with carriages and a locomotive. Like having a train set again. It was a brisk walk down to the bus station in the town centre and only a few minutes wait before the bus back out again and across the Straits and into Angelsey. The bus route was a wonder, taking In the small lanes and villages that […]
I write this sat at in the very pleasant Tite & Locke pub on Lancaster railway station. Given that I had no plans for the day it has free wheeled along very nicely. The reason I’m sat with a pint ( don’t tell lies this is your second) is that my train was cancelled, so this is one of the more comfortable ways to wait for the next one to […]
Hello, it’s a sunny day up here in the north west of England and you find me on the top deck of a Stagecoach 555 bus. I’m heading up to the Lakes, possiblity Keswick, to grab some autumn sunshine and fresh air. The days are slowly shortening, the sunlight is running for cover just that little bit sooner each day, so it’s time to stock up on the day out […]

So it made sense to take a ride up and enjoy the spectacular views and the very fresh air. The tram started service around 1902, and has been quietly trundling up and down ever […]

Not wanting to waste a day, the seasons are turning through their annual, graceful waltz after all, I decided I would head out to North Wales. Into Conwy first then on to Llandudno. I enjoy the contrast of Conwy with it’s narrow streets […]
One of the delights of a walk around Manchester on a day’s street photography mission is watching the Metrolink trams hustling and bustling away through the streets. The tram system now covers roughly 98 miles or so, from up near the Pennines at Oldham and Shaw & Crompton then down to leafy Disdsbury with a side step out to Manchester Airport. They are large machines but can be oddly quiet […]
