Where was the driver?

Sigh...

Where was the driver?

On the DLR ?

Being from Yorkshire @classic33 clearly doesn't know how DLR Trains are controlled. Why should we expect otherwise?















It's Magic, Classic, Magic. Whoever sits in the drivers seat has to believe in it for it to work.

Northern must have been trying the same trick up here.

See? but you Northern types just don't believe enough.

You'll not get the chance to travel on/by Northern. Think yourself lucky.

I might. The Hull - York service is by them isn't it?

What about Newcastle- York?

If we catch the ferry we'll be taking one of those routes, unless I decide to make a bike tour instead.

Renationalisation is very possible.

Hull - York is, currently.

Newcastle - York you have the choice of LNER, TP Express or Cross-country.

For reasons that aren't entirely clear Northern don't run anything between York and the Northeast, leaving an odd gap in the area, despite operating trains in both areas...

Whilst in Northumberland last week, there's a plethora of lovely stations

Sadly, this was the only one I managed to photograph

Belford Junction, on the East Coast Main Line
It's along the B1342 (Station Road), which runs from the A1, through Waren Mill (where we stopped) to Bamburgh

Now operating as a B&B/guesthouse

Southbound

I have found the disused stations website quite handy for plotting routes in the past. There’s some fantastic looking stations and related buildings still knocking around.

What about Newcastle- York?

I'd rather travel by LNER.🚂

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

I did notice this, whilst we were up in Northumberland last week, but due to traffic, didn't get the chance to stop

Just a thought, but with High speed trains running over 100 mph frequently along that route would Northern Rail trains get in the way, so to speak?
