@EastMidRailway Not true. In addition to myself, there were two other people waiting in the correct area. All three of us ended up getting the 4.33 Kidsgrove to Stoke train.

@EastMidRailway Why didn't they stop at Kidsgrove in the first place?

[Stoke-on-Trent History @PotteriesPast]

@EastMidRailway I've been standing at Kidsgrove Station (bus replacement stop) since 3.20 and it never arrived. Please advise, thanks.

Saw Claybody Theatre's joyous production of The Card at Fenton Town Hall last year @claybodytheatre. So know that I am in for a real treat when I see it again tomorrow at the New Vic with Bennett Society friends. And thanks @NewVicTheatre for the display of my Bennett editions.

What's the connection between Walter Sickert's 'Coster Girl' & Arnold Bennett? Find out at this Saturday's 'Bennett Day' at the Medical Centre, Etruria.

A peaceful moment in the avenue at #Sppde Works between the @ACAVASpodeWorks studios and @BCBfestival studio / China Hall. It won't be the same when the Meadows building (to the left) is demolished for redevelopment.

And here's a copy of 'The Card' both for work & pleasure. On sale at Barewall in Burslem & at Leek's Picture Book.
