Just checked on the train website. My train is running, and is on time.

I doubt we'll get out on the town but the bar will take a wee hammering

Some pictures from Edinburgh on Monday, and I've heard it's got worse since then. I wouldn't bother.

Fair enough. I don't really know the area other than to jump in a cab at the airport and say "Lonehead Road please".

I would have hoped my comment on the weather would have been taken with the same jest of use a microlight.

We'll grab a beer, or eleven, soon Lance.

As to getting to Edinburgh... no it didn't happen.

Got to Darlington alright, and the departure board was still saying leaving on time. At 15:28 when it was due in it disappeared from the board. No announcement nor nowt. Spoke to the station's version of John Cleese (you've got to go there just to see him) who definitely was a few light in the marbles dept. As my ticket was an advance purchase I couldn't use it for another 2 hours. Train to Redcar and a 2 mile trudge through the snow.
