Talking of Cup games... Sat 2/11 (Bath away, or - whisper it quietly - possibly the FAC 1st round proper) is in the middle of a 4 day shutdown of the Medway Valley line from Paddock Wood to Maidstone West (31/10-3/11). So, if anyone was planning on traveling on that line that day, they won't be able to.

Unless they take a replacement rail bus, or the 101 to Chatham station.

Travelling on that line (followed by a curry in Paddock Wood) has been on my bucket list since I retired. I suppose I had better get on with it before Labour remove my bus pass, needed to get to Maidstone West.

I am reliably informed that OAP and disabled bus passes are safe, to remove them would be catastrophic for local economies at a time when things are already desperate on the High streets. |

I suppose I had better get on with it before Labour remove my bus pass, needed to get to Maidstone West. It's a nice line, with a lot of history - as you no doubt know! Just the sort of line that would now be a heritage railway in other parts of the country. Fortunately for us, it's seen by the powers that be as an essential relief line and freight route. On train nerd topics - we had another stream hauled special come through ME yesterday - which I again missed! Is there any (easy) way of finding out when these things are due?? |

The FA Cup thread has been derailed / hit the buffers (choose your pun). I know we are playing a train station on Saturday but this takes the mick
