I know to what grahame refers: that was a great meeting.

The publicity seems to have kept the momentum going at Northampton according to this report on the BBC website.

The article itself might prompt a few people to make the journey from some of the "missing" stations.  Day out in Northampton?  I'm not really aware of it being a tourist hot-spot.....but all towns tend to have their little surprises.

They do. Which reminds me: Maybe I’m overdue recharging my energy…

I think that's a load of old cobblers.

That's maybe because you don't know the detail of grahame's reference.

A trip to Northampton and a meeting there changed my life.  Big surprise.
