    Because Andy is being a tight so-an-so and wont pay for the larger headboard; ''Nora Battys Crinkly Stockings Stopper''...So we will probably just run with our Cotton Mills Expr headboard!... \:D/

    considering this is a stub line, and Sheffield, wouldnt "The Blunt Knife" or "Thin end of the Wedge" be more appropriate headboards ?

    telephoned PTR on friday for details and they said they do not yet know the fares and are not accepting any bookings before February. Strange!

    They are just being cautious, and not taking your money before they know the true cost of the venture...never been gauged for steam, never been timed for steam.....patience is a vertue!

    Ticket booked on line with a note to PTR to use the previously held deposit for the Cumbrian Fellsman which I had to cancel. 10 minutes later email reply received informing me that this had been done. Now that's how to run your bookings, =D> .
