Deep in the heart of
Cheshire and, as Mrs Dobbin sleeps with Dobbin Jr (count the
legs), Stanier class 5 number 45407 heads for Middlewich with
The Cheshire Gardens Express. Bound for Altrincham and then shuttling
to Chester, the train is limited to 20 m.p.h. on what is normally
a goods-only line. Having been quite a pleasant morning, the
heavens opened about 20 minutes before the train was due and
promptly ceased afterwards - we must be mad! 4/5/2008 |
