I’ve got a few weeks left before Manchester Pride and then back to school and teaching full time. I’ve been wanting to travel around London a bit more than I have in the past and see some specific areas of track that have intrigued me.
- Crossrail
- Steep hill at Lewisham
- Hills and point work around Sutton on the Thameslink terminators.
Are these doable in a day? Or would it be best to stay overnight and take my time? Usually, I’d get the 0830 GC or the LNER non-stop from York to Kings Cross and spend the day pottering about, hospital appointment and then a 1930ish train home. I have got the option of pushing my time home further back but would struggle for onward travel from York to my car.
If timings are tight, then I can get a hotel and stay down there and spend 48hrs travelling around on trains in case I find something else I want to see or travel to.
