Winter CME Trips 2018

Indeed it does and as Edmund Blackadder once said so some sort of hat is probably in order then

 

Just had our electronic tickets for 3/2/18. Galatea is the allocated locomotive.

9 passenger carrying coaches including Buffet/Std plus Kitchen Car, so should be more sensible 11 with POB.

 

Oh no, remember what happened the last time we shared a table . . . Any how, my Restraining Order has now expired So see you at Preston.

 

Only for some...

 

Must admit, I was sweating.... does that mean you are a reformed character ?

 

No!

 

Just a ‘Character’...

 

and repeat till the seaon end?

 

Andy Capp is a bit more dapper than Shep

 

Might have something to do with Std now being £109, not so long ago these were £69 with a trip free if you booked the entire series. These are big increases in price which means I for one am a lot more selective. Money isn't limitless.

 

Well the variable costs such as coal, water and network access must have risen a lot.

 

Is there a code for this discount? I haven't been sent that one and quite fancy doing the 24th.

 

PAD

 

Isn’t Tornado up at Carlisle that same day

 

Thanks. Booked the 17th. Code still working.

 

Yup. On the North Briton.
