SM42 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Sorry about that Jim. I thought they would have told you before you got to Wolverhampton. Could have been worse though, It was touch and go whether you went via Soho as well or stayed at Oxley all night. Just a shame I wasn't there to see you pass. Cannock needs waking up a bit and a 56 is just the thing to do it. Andy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted October 19, 2017 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted October 19, 2017 At a push I'd have gone to nuneaton, run round in 7 and could have had me back up the wcml from there, problem is other than Rugeley and Stafford there are no north facing junctions heading out of the Birmingham area Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium jamie92208 Posted November 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2017 From the reviews I've seen, the chocolate Orient Express looks a lot better than the film! There was a picture on Facebook yesterday of what I think was the continental based orient Express stock in one of the Eurostar platforms as part of the same publicity effort. Presumably this had travelled via HS1. It would be interesting to know what hauled it. Jamie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium corneliuslundie Posted November 5, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 5, 2017 What a waste of good chocolate. Surely it should be served with cream and moulded into proper locomotives and carriages, then delivered somewhere a little further west. Yes, the reviews of the film I have seen on here have been pretty scathing. I prefer books for murder mysteries anyway. Jonathan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
