@PoonamMcpoo @MrSamDixon @NetworkRailLC @northernassist @nationalrailenq @JoshMacAlister @CumberlandCoun Seems unlikely, but OK. 😂

@RMcCarthy86 I shall be very much away before you get here! 😊

[(Not) Posh Dave @Tringonometry]

@RMcCarthy86 I'm lurking at Workington. Due to a most unfortunate rostering error, I'm additional spare (RDW).

What larks, Pip! 🤣

@RMcCarthy86 You may get the express treatment from Barrow to Sellafield if you're coming all the way down to Carlisle 😎
