    Cheers Kevin, I'm sure we will have a great day, tickets from Atherton bought and pies prepared... Oh, and some beer bottles clinking in the bottom of the bag :thumb:

    Err, I thought we bought a few (bottle openers) at Liverpool in December along with some Santa hats?

    Yeah, on second thoughts you can never have too many bottle openers, or pies... :whistle:

    I am told Lizzie was stuck at Hellifield as no water there so it left the train and went to find some. It is now stuck away from the train due to a points failure.

    That's a bummer. Hope they get it fixed soon.Mind you, better now than for it to happen on the outward journey. Sounds like it's a good job it wasn't an ECML trip today though, with the signalling computer being down and all trains stopped!
