Hello.

I thought I'd best say hello to any new visitors who've wandered over here from The Guardian.  Firstly, can I say that I normally look a lot better than I looked on the website?  There was a rain storm, a lot of fast walking, a wind; normally I resemble a perfectly ordinary human being.  Though admittedly I've never really got to grips with my hair.  It's less "styled" more "wrangled into place".

Secondly, thanks for visiting.  I haven't actually visited any stations for a couple of weeks - the last ones were Manchester United Football Ground and Trafford Park - though I am going to Crewe next week.  Bet you can't wait to come back and read that, can you?

In the meantime, here are a few posts that more or less sum up what I get up to.

• Earlier this year, I collected the whole of the Cumbrian Coast Line.  
• Here I am being depressed in Hull.
• How about the horrors of a New Town?
• Sometimes I do other kinds of train journey.  Here's my trip on the Caledonian Sleeper.
• Most of the time it's just me wandering the countryside somewhere though.

There are a load of other links on the right.  Knock yourself out.

Hello again.
