In the prequel to Lime Sundae (a remake of Thelma and Louise), Limey has set off for Leeds and already changed mode of transport twice (drove to ferry terminal, taken the boat, now on a train to Glasgow). Two more trains and a van - drive await ....

I think that we should have a Mission Control moving map display for an operation of this magnitude and complexity.;)

So do I. Amongst the deeply technical kit I carrying there is a kitchen table and a small teddy bear ...

Am now ensconced in a "safe house" after miles of 50mph motorway (the signs said they're building a 'smart motorway'!?) and dinner at my dad's old local.
Carruthers! You missed a treat!

I'm not big carrot fan, but, that looks pretty damn tasty.

So it would appear!

They weren't big carrots!

I've been gone for awhile. Is Sundae going into a witness protection program and Limey is her "handler" charged with relocating her and establishing her new alias?

Sshhhhhh

Eat hearty, limey, you'll need your strength. :haha:

DANA!!!!!!!!! Limey's eating Carrot!

I quite forgot to say that yesterday's journey meant that I got to travel on the Settle to Carlisle railway (in the other direction! ). This is a famous line, a remarkable feat of Victorian engineering and a tourist attraction in its own right. It was threatened with closure 25 years ago and saved by a vigorous public campaign.
The station architecture is relatively unspoilt Victorian rural, and some of the views very lovely indeed.Attachment 47615Attachment 47616Attachment 47617Attachment 47618

What a lovely place!

Glad it didn't get torn down.

They are pulling out some really nice "no left turn" neon traffic signs that were probably hand blown decades ago, and replacing them with some gaudy LED things. Progress. I know. But neon work is a lost skill and you pretty much never see it on traffic signs any more.

If the old stuff still does the job well, leave it alone.

That's my favourite train route!
