LNER’s HSTs enter final weeks in service

Sad to know, that in the next number of weeks, all of LNER’s HSTs will be coming off the ECML. Really going to miss, seeing and of course hearing the Class 43’s, powering up and down the line.

Railway stations, I want to visit in 2020

Since 2020, is getting very, very close. Here is a mini list, of railway stations, that I really want to tick off, next year!

  • Dent – Highest railway station England.
  • Dunbar – Heard it’s got amazing beaches (Did someone say, wetsuits! LOL!).
  • Pitlochry – Been voted the best ‘Medium Station of the Year’ in the UK.
  • Thurso – The northernmost railway station station in the UK.
  • Wick – The terminus of the Far North Line.

Any others, you think I should visit? Plus, please give a good reason!!
