Not until you add - "and electrify the entire route"!

Once Santa and the elves have finished the presents, perhaps they could set up an infrastructure company and deliver this!

Happy Christmas!

Just want to say to Graham and the members involved about credit cards, but somehow it started when being told by other members started putting nice things with their cards, I sadly got very cross at the time, because the companies have never treated me very nice over the past years.

Anyway only 12 more hours to Christmas day, Hope you all have a merry one, Sadly I shall have to manage, I only have my mother and all of you on this forum.

PLUS Allan Tim And Steve on Gloucester station.

Just to add my seasonal greetings.   Thankfully the majority of shops are shut now so if we haven't got it, it's too late.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and thanks for all your contributions throughout the year.

Didn't get the chance to enjoy a Pullman meal with member Broadgage during the year so here's a glass of GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) port.  Cheers!

And a merry Christmas and a happy New Year from me, and my eldest, seen luxuriating in Amtrak business class en route to Niagara.

Why is It, When Yorkshire puddings go cold, they seem to become bullet proof?.

What a lovely little Christmas pudding and brandy sauce, slipped down lovely, nice and hot.

And by the way, noticed there is a Christmas Paddington 24/7 on soon.
