    I had a call from a chap who wanted to sell me a new driveway (presumably resurfacing my existing one). He asked me if I still had a driveway (what?) so I told him no I hadn't because I'd dug it up and sold it.

    Anyway, that can't be in Yorkshire, chap's got a coat on.

    Cowlairs makes more sense for a train in Oban than does Carlisle. Never noticed this kind of marker before though.

    I meant to say wasn't not was!! I agree it was a standard open.

    I'm sorry I have no idea but no doubt someone will know. Unfortunatley I didn't note any coach numbers at the time but it certainly wasn't a Composite Lavatory suburban coach!

    25266 and another (possbly 25278) roll through Carlisle with steel rolls, date unknown.

    26008 at Carlisle, date unknown but possibly mid to late 80s - I'm sure someone will have a better idea than I do! It's obviously had a door swap. Edit to add: According to "Scotland's Diesel Fleet in Detail" 26008 had a bogie swap with rectangular footsteps by April 1984. In early 1985 it was reallocated to Inverness and received its black and yellow stag logos before being reallocated to Haymarket by April 1985 where it received castle logos. For comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/dwbphotos/8429693261 Can't work out what the replacement door might have come from though!

    It's true, they did. It was early 90s - can't remember if it was 90 or 91 - between Christmas and New Year for some service originating in Leeds. There were also some at other times originating in Carlisle. I have photos somewhere - I'll try and find them. Added: Seems it was not just Christmas time either: www.railwayherald.com/imagingcentre/view/463162/LC and: www.railforums.co.uk/threads/haulage-on-the-s-c-in-the-1980s.116058/ (scroll down to the end)

    British Railways didn't think so: http://disused-stations.org.uk/r/reedsmouth/index39.shtml Though the settlement is so named.

    Just rediscovering the superb work of Nic Jones. What a guitarist and singer he was! Sadly missed. Coupled with the melodeon playing of Tony Hall - just magic for me. See (or listen) open.spotify.com/track/35twsbi3Gw2vNSfQzxXYxt 😄

    Second one with the peak looks like Skipton.

    The best plate I've seen read: X10TEN - class!
