The Great Central Railway

The meal with my daughter was fantastic, wonderful food and excelent company. The meal included two tickets for unlimited travel on the railway which we used to kill time before our feast.

A few pictures from the day:

The line has many locomotives including both diesel

and steam

We took a walk to the very end of the current line where it crosses the canal

We were there on a Peppa Pig special day

The other train was pulled by this magnificent beast

The train stops on the viaduct over the reservoir for some stunning views as the sun goes down

Very long time waiting

Its been a year since my last post, I really do need to keep this up to date.

Oh well, to this weekend. Tomorrow I am going to the Great Central Railway with my eldest daughter Amanda to have a meal on the train as part of my birthday present (50th). Then we hope to watch the recording of the first episode of Dr Who with Peter cpaldi in the title role, I really cannot wait for both events :-)

I am going to try to post something here on a daily basis if I can.
