Thank you Syd for your kind welcome.
Hello John, no I haven't been to Trevarno yet, though it's somewhere I plan to visit. The railway there is an amazing achievement. Thanks for your tips about where to stop en route Liverpool. I've done the rail trip many times but have never thought of stopping at Bristol Temple Meads, so I'll give that a go. Lime Street I can explore once I'm up there. I don't mind if trains don't stop at stations - I just love to watch them on the move! Last year I ended up on a station en route Liverpool - can't remember which one - and a goods train about a mile long (or so it seemed) flew past and it was such an impressive sight. (Takes all sorts to make a world, doesn't it?!!
