Well at the age of 5/6 my Dad first started taking me out on train trips, starting with a trip down to the Swanage Heritage Railway. I enjoyed it there and so he's been taking me on trips ever since, to hotels all around the UK. The most memorable is when we went to Grange-Over Sands in August 2003, and stayed in a big hotel. Nice little town, and I loved the viaduct near the station. We went to Windermere, and Beatrix Potter Town, but last year, we visited it again and It was great! I loved touring the Lake District. Now that he's getting old, we've stopped going away to Hotels, and only really go on Train Trips to Newcastle and Meadowhall, and Hull etc. They're not as fun as it is a short journey for all. We've go on all Heritage Railways in the UK. But recently he's discovered another line to do, but doesn't want to do it, so It is my goal to be just like him, go on every line in UK and Wales. I will have a long list and tick them off as I go.
