Title: Problems on the Taunton to Donegal line Post by: Alan Pettitt on February 03, 2014, 16:48:33 Good job we can have a bit of a laugh, but the line map in the top left corner is bringing back happy memories of all the happy years that I lived in Ireland!

That wasn't Donegal, it was Fastnet Rock ;D Fixed - never had trains terminating at Dawlish Warren before!

Fastnet Rock was when trains couldn't get to Weymouth and had to terminate at Dorchester West then sent into the siding at FNR (!), This time, using my compass, it was Donegal!

English tourist, driving somewhere in Eire, to local Irish person by the roadside: "Excuse me: how do I get to Donegal?" Irish native: "Ah, to be sure: if you're wanting to go to Donegal, I wouldn't be starting from here." ;D Title: Re: Problems on the Taunton to Donegal line Post by: bobm on February 03, 2014, 19:35:39 That's an awful Irish accent CfN! ;D
