On the day of the famous restored station clock, featured in the 1945 film Brief Encounters, was unveiled at Carnforth station, another small contribution to #Railway200 is a new railway tourism case study from Routledge on the value of heritage railways: https://t.co/xjMhhCol7m

@BristolBears @BenhardJVR Super news but wonder if Mr Borthwick might be thinking about adding @BernhardJVR to his mid midfield playlist?

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

First poked my head in there during autumn term at Northwestern back in 85. Gosh rugby has gone a long way since Stateside.

Any Given Saturday. Excited about bringing you here to Chicago & Soldier Field tomorrow. This place just might slot into my Stadium Top 10. Ireland V All Blacks ⁦@rugbyontnt⁩

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@andNickMullins @Monkeymindcoach @rugbyontnt @MartinBayfield @Sarraelgan @TheTalkingThumb London Irish as the ‘Irish RFU’s 5th Province’, Wasps, Worcester and a new far south west franchise Plymouth/Cornish Pirates? Now you’re talking!

@BathRugby An increase in capacity of just 3,750 does not bode well for the supply of match day tickets. If Bath remain top of the game then it’s just a slight increase within the confines of the existing site.

@Iromg On a lighter note always thought WW3 was the 48 hour lead up to a @BristolBears v @BathRugby clash. Mutual disintegration of front rows and forward power!

@seaside_network @SeasideFerry @MrTimDunn As editor I’ve just written a short piece for the next edition of Swanage Railway Magazine.

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@andNickMullins @rugbyontnt Yes indeed. £30 per month for immersion in international rugby and premiership rugby is not a bad investment. Let’s hope you acquire the tv rights for the Lions’ series. A great band of chaps and ladies who know their onions.

@SeasideFerry And 29 years ago today I was a dad for the first time!

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@BristolBears Gosh you’ll be lucky to get any form of ticket. Bath is not exactly conducive due to its ‘stadium’ capacity being so small for away supporters. Not Ashton Gate!

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@JamieNugent96 Congratulations Jamie, mine is taking real shape with a not to distant title of ‘Looking Back to Look Forward: Shaping a destination’s heritage, the case of representations of Ireland in the Steam Age 1890 - 1939’.

I started like that, with a generous gift from Mike A of a class 31. But keeping it on a mantelpiece was not enough - be warned!

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@TurnipRail Always impressive! Going to be able to offer a rather nice LNER P2 in 0 gauge shortly.

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@BristolBears Surely a trip to in the party to Japan & NZ? Mr Borthwick doesn’t know what he’s missing!

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@RailDeliveryGrp So what’s happening about the @SailRail1 campaign on the Irish Sea?

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

@Simply_Railway Think I’ll need to update my National Railway Museum piece: https://t.co/hmIR3KMhr1.

@seatsixtyone Think I’ll need to update my National Railway Museum blog: a short history of railway luggage

[Martyn Pring @PringMartyn]

Nice section in https://t.co/QBXaydP1G9 on how Japan's new deluxe trains are attracting many overseas visitors. Also Japanese rail history very well documented by Professor Jeremy Black @amberleybooks in https://t.co/Iop5FLuBDt #RailwayHistory

@andNickMullins That heartfelt interview almost brought tears to my eyes. What we need is a very small proportion of the capital made available to Eddie Howe et al to filter into rugby in the north east. Don’t let the Falcons disappear down the plug hole!
