The trainspotter thread is that way ------------->
Choose bikes. Choose a cake. Choose a Colnago. Choose The Fridays. Choose a f***ing big memorial arch. Choose track pumps, tyres, inner tubes and CO2 inflators. Choose beer, bread pudding and third party cover. Choose fixed gear. Choose a bungalow. Choose your friends. Choose lycra and matching buffs. Choose a triplet in a range of delightful colours. Choose TEC and wondering where the waymarkers are in the early hours of Saturday morning. Choose sitting in a cafe, eating the finest breakfast money can buy. Choose falling asleep standing up. Choose the next ride. And the next. But why would I want to do thing like that? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got the Friday Night Ride to the Coast?

Umm... I think those in the picture start/terminate in Grain.
Just sayin' like....
Serious, full-on, anoracky obsessive trainspotting alert:

Kingsnorth originally. The 4VG line was built in 1970 as far as Kingsnorth, which had first been connected three years previously from Northfleet. The 4TK extension to Grain was built in 1975 and tees in to 4VG one pylon out of Kingsnorth; the southern circuit of 4VG still goes into Kingsnorth, the northern circuit now bypasses Kingsnorth and goes off to Grain. The extension from Grain to Kemsley was 1979, where it joined the south coast ring from Kemsley - Canterbury - Sellindge - Dungeness - Ninfield - Bolney which had been there from the 1960s.

I'm quite a normal person in some other respects, honest.

I did actually wonder after I'd written that, that it could possibly be Kingsnorth....

I too am looking forward to this. I'm sure I read somewhere, where and when we meet but I can't remember. Anyone know?

I've discovered that Google are using their squillions of unpaid tax monies to help you time travel, after having a quick look at Chatham. (I was wondering why the road after Piggy's Cafe didn't seem to be a road any more). Go forwards and then see the fancy bus terminal disappear, turn around and go back, to see the old layout and then back again.

Not only that - but Piggy's has re-located to a different place.
