Quite fitting that Three in Ten on this morning's Popmaster was Kirsty MacColl. RIP Kirsty.

Who would have thought a derailment would help us arrive home two hours early...

Reminds me of 20 years ago - when track works being cancelled, when I was on a train due to be diverted, ended up costing me money!
I've lived in Cwmbran (in S Wales, a few miles from the GW main line). At the time, I was commuting daily to Oxford - so the usual routes with my season ticket involved changing at Didcot (Newport - Bristol Parkway / Bristol Temple Meads / Gloucester - Swindon - Didcot) (Hereford - Worcester was an alternative, but took an hour or two longer).
Track works were planned around Swindon - so train booked to go via "Berks and Hants" - during diversions like this, season ticket validity would be extended to allow travel via Reading - so, if I wanted to visit London, I'd only need to buy a ticket from Reading, instead of all the way from Didcot.
Track works being cancelled meant a slight change of plans / fare ... !

Well, Bilsdale TV mast has gone up in smoke so I can get in with some modelling while Mrs WF is watching Emmerdale on her tablet.

Would those measures be pints - or sixths of a gill?
As for our friend "Tam", you could almost imagine some preservation line getting hold of a class 09 - fitting nameplates to it - and hooking it up to a driving trailer.
Well, they've got to make up for income lost to all those Corona lockdowns - better still if they can also get the nippers "trained" ... .

A few more gulls flying about round here, suppose there's no chips for them to steal in Whitby at the moment.

Is 'AY Mod' Andy's good or evil alter ego?

@Worsdell forever - AY Mod talks Anglo Saxon through gritted teeth.

On September 4th 1818 a committee met in Darlington Town Hall "to consider the propriety of opening up a line of communication from Stockton to the collieries".

I'm just waiting for a drunken chorus of:
"We're coming home ... England's coming home!"
Well, I'm Welsh - so I'm not likely to support England, am I?
Especially when I prefer to see "football" played using an oval ball with pointed ends.
Seriously though, I hope England do OK - but I'm nowhere near as worried as some people here might be.
Hardly surprising, really.
