White walls, polished wood benches and straps. Might consider redecorating the spare room like that.<br /><br />Unfortunately this does mean that we will have to wait for Saltburn-by-the-Sea for some more funicular action.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-46424801931982770872012-07-16T22:36:06.095+01:002012-07-16T22:36:06.095+01:00After all, it's only one train journey away.
...<i>After all, it's only one train journey away.</i><br /><br />If the <a href="http://www.dft.gov.uk/publications/hlos-2012/" rel="nofollow">plans outlined by the DfT today</a> come to fruition in their current form, this will change by the end of the decade.<br /><br />The trans-Pennine route will be electrified, so Transpennine trains from Liverpool will be electrically powered and run to Newcastle.<br /><br />Scarborough will be left off the electric network, so the Blackpool-York service (currently operated by Northern with diesel trains) will be extended to Scarborough.<br /><br />Never been to Scarborough: it looks like quite a nice place. A 3+ hour train journey is a bit much for a day trip though.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00809380009059539921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8329761583210135212.post-50176941154758458562012-07-16T11:19:49.745+01:002012-07-16T11:19:49.745+01:00Fabulous!
