I assume that you will be spending a significant amount of time in Phil Grimes? The best pub in Waterford with a great host in Tom!

Do you want your taxes to increase? No thanks.

Do you want financial chaos? No thanks.

Do you want public services and investment to collapse? No thanks.

Do you understand trade-offs? People like me are sick of politicians...

Interesting, the 2 car yesterday didn’t seem to have adhesion problems. The overgrown line side vegetation hitting and scraping along the side of the train is a different matter though….

It sounds like they were a right pain though, or un pain droit if you’ll excuse the pun.

Finally another Head of Steam (the Sheffield one) where the Strongarm is again very good!

Then to Sheffield where the Sheffield Tap on the station is a must and their own Jericho APA is on good form.

Next to the Tom Pudding in Goole where perfectly kept Welbeck Abbey Red Feather is only £3.60 (note: yes there IS a train from Leeds to Goole - just the one each day though!).

I think that’s the only one, however if you were to extend the area to all of the British Isles then Manulla Junction would count!

I agree that Shilling Brewery is a must and also recommend West Brewery which has a German brewer who makes beer according to the Rheinheitsgebot.

It was opened by the late queen as a showpiece for the modernisation of the line and I believe the designers were given a “no expense spared” brief!
