Glad to see the back of you

DH & I may make an overnight of it and drive down. We have seen some of the area before, any recommendations welcome.

Looking forward to seeing everyone

Rail tickets booked. Coach E/1. I've decided to go for the 1720 with you lot. MrB said he'll pick me up from the station at this end at ten o'clock!

gillybob and I now have booked our train.

Wooooopeee .

Are we there yet? Ae we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Which train are you getting? The same as the Scottish Grannies? May see you on there

DH decided that his exams are a bit too close for comfort, so I'm joining the Scottish contingent on the train. Coach E for me too

We are on the11,15from Newcastle coach C moomin

This is turning into something resembling a school outing.

enjoy the trip everyone sorry not able to come but just make sure you all have your name and addresses pinned on your lapel's in case anyone gets lost.

Your enthusiasm is catching, Scottish G'netters. I would love to be up there with you all. Sounds like it's going to be a fabulous day. Have a great time!

OMG I still have to book a seat!

Is the next stop Kirkcaldy?

Sorry, that will confuse those not familiar with the poem. the boy on the railway train

I shall be you all in thought.

WITH you all in thought.

Thanks glass, not sure if I'm going to book in advance - may just purchase on the day - but will catch the 11:15 from N'castle anyway.

Glass, gillybob, whoever Am I right in thinking that the 11.15 from Newcastle is the same train as the one all the Scottish grannies who are coming will be catching from Edinburgh Waverley? What time does it arrive in Darlington?

I suppose one major advantage to this meetup for me is that I am unlikely to end up in Berwick on Tweed. Not that there is anything wrong with Berwick; it's just a bit of a problem to be there if you thought you were travelling from Newcastle to Darlington.

Of course, the biggest advantage is seeing all of you.

absent the 11:15 from Newcastle gets into Darlo at 11:46

I don't think we get in until around 12.30. (note to self: must remember to buy streamers..) !
That was wasted on everyone except me, I think, Elegran!

Okey dokey. I am taking notes. Thank you.

Pearls before swine, Marelli

, Elegran!
