How about the 14.20 Douglas to Port Erin with Loch in charge. Last Wednesday.

Don't you just hate me?
Include the MER 11.30 Ramsey to Douglas Car 22 Trailer?

Oh and a Horse tram along the front at Douglas.

Good Luck
Doug

which bit?
1 hr 45 between departures at Gen Sin Pieters & Brussels
2 hr 15 between departures at Brussels & Kings X/St Pancras
30 mins between departures at Kings X & Paddington

Looks about right based on the timetables :-)

my last train journey was the
17:49 Winnersh Triangle - Martins Heron South West Trains Service on Friday which I'll only have to do twice more this month :-)

And remember you gain an hour on CET on the return journey (and of course losing one on the way over there) :wink:

My last 'train' was a couple of weeks ago: 2242 Leeds to Sheffield via Moorthorpe , that in the end was a very hastily arranged and very late, but very beasty replacement coach - B10M with Voith auto box :)

0840 Southerner Express to Timaru, December 1991 or 92. There is no train leaving here now, except for excurion specials from up north, ironically, mostly steam hauled. There's one around 24th October, so I'll be on the platform with my camera.
