My puny efforts to get passenger trains and stations reinstated on 38 miles of existing, double track rail lines in Birmingham and the Black Country. Some, such as the Stourbridge, Dudley, Walsall rail line has its middle section reserved for trams that forever prevent passenger trains returning.

My first ever train trips to Wales for walking and cycling - in 2014!
I got the train to Porthmadog in North Wales on Monday for only the second time and then cycled to a former colleague's home in Llanrug, near Caernarfon. In the summer, I took the train to Morfa Mawddach and walked over the mountains to Machynlleth to get the train home. Two wonderful trips but, the summer was so dry and warm I was able to sleep out without a tent in a graveyard in the church that Mary Jones went to. Mary was the 15 year old who walked over the hills to Bala to get a Welsh Bible in 1800.
