I don't think I know Alan Seymour TG. I know the East Lancs railway though and don't patronise it as often as I should! My sons Mum-in-Law, Pam (Bromley I think) does some volunteering there.

I did, fortunately, know the bit about traveling by any reasonable route - once haveing traveled London to Manchester via Leeds when the west coast mail line electrics had broke! Thanks for the rest of the info - could come in more than useful:-)

Cheers
