Description
Nick and I had a 2 days break in January 1993, travelling by train from our home near Southport. These were the days before Realtime Trains and mobile phones, so what we recorded was "pot luck" We had lived in South Wales from 1976 -86 but didn't have a video camera at the time and I was working in the South Wales area so unable to get out and follow the railways
