Trainspotting
Railtastic trip to The National Railway Museum at York with Marcus. Staggered to see trains from the 1980s are now museum pieces....except for the ones still being used in Yorkshire that is! Highlight for me was a film from the driver's cab of a train going from Birmingham New Street to Aberystwyth....it took nearly as long as the real thing
