Steam locomotives are using the Esk Valley Line between Whitby and Battersby in a few weeks, in an extension of the Pickering to Whitby runs.

What happened to the following:
- Sticking hand out clearly in good time
- Ringing the bell in good time and making way to front holding on to handrails as bus is stopping or if vunlerable, remaining seated?

Coopers Tourmaster have been buying a couple of new coaches...

A thread for members - new and old - to introduce themselves.
Your name, your interests... It's up to you!

Right folks. There was a bit of interest when I first mentioned it, so I've set up a Fantasy Football league for the World Cup. You can enter by doing the following.

• Go to https://www.dreamteamfc.com/team/select/
  
• Select "I'm New"
  
• Give your team a name, select your players to budget
  
• Enter your email address and select that you're over 18 , then hit submit team.
  
• Ensure that the free option is selected.
  

Once you've done this, you'll have the option to join a league. The NEB league PIN is 8156145, and the league password is leyland.

There's no rules as such. You won't be able to see anyone's team until after the first game week is over (i.e. all 1st fixtures are played from all eight groups). I'd recommend people didn't give their teams away until after this, as transfers are unlimited until then.

I will distribute some #NEBPoints to the top 3 at the end of the tournament.

1st - 30 Points
2nd - 20 Points
3rd - 10 Points

In a bid to get more people involved, I'll also gift the winner either a 1 day BuzzFare ticket (to one zone of your choosing), or a 1 day Get Around ticket. Obviously you'll have to give me your key card number via PM to top it up if you win.

No cash alternative available, yadda yadda..

Things all over the place today thanks to some awkward failures...

1772 on 17, 4030 ended up on 27s, 1456 on 28s (replacing 4030), 1908 on 29s and Redcar even had a go with 1101/2 and 4650 all wrong allocations on the 63.

Sometimes I get bored and think about some of the most stupidest and daftest shite, so I was thinking

1. Why is it when somebody dies we say things like 'Sorry to hear that'
2. When people goto hospital what is the crack with visitors taking grapes
3. Non-Stick pans...How does the Teflon get stuck on
4. What happens if you fart at the Speed of Sound
5. If you could travel in a car at the Speed of light, what would happen if you flashed the headlights?
6. What was the first person thinking when he looked at a Cow and decided 'I will give that teet a squeeze to see what comes out and drink it'
7. Sanitary Towel adverts...A milk advert shows milk being drunk, adverts for sweets show sweets being eaten...Sanitary Towel adverts show a woman riding a bike or getting soaked...

I really have too much time on my hands
