This was always going to be a long day plugging annoying gaps, but a couple of badly timed cancellations meant it was a choice of leaving a couple of those gaps for another day or enduring a 20 hour day. Needless to say, the gaps remain.

A trip out to try and plug a few gaps round the Birmingham / Staffordshire area.
Being just after the hot weather, there were still problems in the area, so my plan to cover Wolverhampton to Shrewsbury as well fell apart with only two done.

Day two was much better and all went to plan, the early start for Polesworth paid off.

I'd been keeping Norfolk in the "too difficult" pile but made a last minute decision this week when I saw a cheapish ticket to Norwich via Cambridge.
The Wherry Lines day ranger covered the lines to Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft on day two.
Berney Arms was busy with about six passengers arriving and departing, though I was the only passenger at some of the others.

Fairly limited choice of targets available today. Still, Metrolink is running and has lots of former heavy-rail stations. Thanks to the high platforms, even the purpose-built ones count in my book - they're definitely more than "just" tram stops.

This coupled with visits to the Saltburn Miniature Railway, Teeside Small Gauge Railway and Sunderland MES Club Track, as well as the Seaburn Historic Vehicle Rally meant a great Weekend!
