We were looking at going to Hull but it isn't really practicable for a day trip, and we didn't fancy a night in a Travellodge.@mickledore I can't make this, going to Hull for the weekend!!!

Thanks Chris. Take care. You know what you are like for attracting accidents!Enjoy yourselves folks, sadly or not I will be in Northumberland this coming weekend with my cameras and my new toy drone.
I'll see you the weekend after @mickledore for the station
Went there with SWMBO last year. Bit of PIA to get to - train to Wolverhampton; train to Tipton, bus to somewhere in the middle of nowhere then 1.5 mile walk. It's very good but a bit like Beamish lite.
Still got annual tickets for free entry, or might have if Robsea still has them!
As for the chippy? The queues were insane. 2 hour wait the sign said. For fish and chips? Nothing is that good!
Are you all still going?Hey @forklift.
Yes, trip is very much on. We arrive in New Street at 9:05 on Saturday morning - or should do! Train started out as the 6:58 from Lancaster and is scheduled to arrive on Platform 1, although that may well change.
Excuse my lack of local knowledge, but there's a big entry/exit on Stephenson Street opposite Cafe Nero. Meet you by the steel bollards - under the no entry sign shown below?

You won't miss us. I'm 6'2" and ugly with it. @Billy will be talking a lot. Assuming a few minutes to get from the platform meet approx 9:10???
@Downton Mini
@GreenNinja67
@Nostromo
You guys able to come along?
Frank.
Yes. Still on.Are you all still going?
I'm 99% sure I can make it, if still OK to tag along. I only say 99% sure just incase something crops up.
Hi All
That is about the route I was going to suggest we take, we should have a good day especially if the weather improves.
See you Saturday.
Kevin
@Billy Four weeks? You're lucky. Our local station is 9 months behind schedule, with no end in sight.@mickledore I'll meet you at Preston station as I'm getting the train as my local line to Preston starts running again on Saturday, only 4 weeks behind schedule but still diesel not electric as promised.
Now there's another suggestion for a meet.Our local station only has steam and diesel trains.
Yup. Could do that.East Lancs day rover ticket sounds good.
Nah, nah, na na, nah
See you in Pitt Street. 6.45AM.
Alarm is set for 5.45.
I'm not that coolBaseball cap with peak backwards?
You'll be easy to spot thenI'm not that cool
Corrected that for you.If you could get it I'd have it for work, it's got to be worth several
Good. But only hand it over when we get back to Preston. I don't want to carry it round all day.That looks like Vimto to me, I'd better bring an undiluted bottle then.
