22. The Cumbrian Coast Express & afternoon walk-16.03.19

Amazingly, having managed to get Andy's 23-year-old Nissan Serena yet another MOT at work, I drove it to Wolverton and met him at the station with him having driven one of his Micras from his home. We met at Wolverton to see the 1Z86 Cumbrian Coast Express pass with 86259 doing the honours as usual. Due to it being delayed by about twenty minutes, control kept it on the down fast so we positioned ourselves on platform two. Despite the grey weather, a reasonable photograph was produced. We then drove both cars to Andy's home and he popped me back to Roade.....what a complicated morning! In the afternoon, to maintain my nine-day unbroken record of getting 10 000 steps, I went for a blowy walk around the village. Coincidentally, a freight was passing under Hyde Road bridge as I did so!
