    The Lake District is definitely where you want to be driving on the left for the first time. In winter.

    First day out for @AvantiWestCoast’s first refurbished Pendolino, kicking off with the 0505 Piccadilly to Euston. New seats are fairly solid and slimline so legroom has improved, and all seats now have power points.

    Two brothers at my school with the surname Ness. All well and good, but their parents had named then Andrew and Paul - A. Ness and P. Ness.

    Had to bring my train to a stand to deal with a trespasser. Who then questioned my right as a driver to do such a thing and subsequently accused me of being an agent of the Chinese state.
