Any punters living in Birmingham Area interested in a Pie, Pint and jaw, one evening in a pub in Birmingham area.

Doesn't appear to be any news on the Wrexham & Shropshire website yet regarding the starting date.

However, it's full stam ahead for Thomas:
"A new theme park, Thomas Land, featuring the much loved children's character Thomas the Tank Engine has officially opened."

Anyone interested in a lunchtime meeting this Saturday, say 1pm?

Please post with a preferred pub.

Interested, don't mind the venue.

Suggest the Anchor, probably have some food as well if on.

Time?

Where has the survivour and 551 gone?

1pm.

No idea about our other members, sure they will post if available. I'll put the word around the other avenues in the meantime.

So, 1pm at the Anchor this Saturday.

OK.

Stan, It would be nice to see 5501 on Saturday.

He is unusually quiet.

What is he up to now?

Certainly would like to see 55 tomorrow as I'm sure it's his round -):

If it helps, I will buy him a pint if he turns up.

...Well if he's on his uppers I suppose I can chip in with a half.

Enjoy your pint(s) .......

"Wrexham & Shropshire's trains are currently being refitted to exacting standards by a specialist firm in Stoke-on-Trent. The refurbished trains will offer passengers a modern, comfortable travelling environment once completed this summer. In the meantime, to allow leisure and business travellers to take advantage of the new service as soon as possible, the company is hiring trains for use from 28 April for the first few months of operation."

Passenger group the Wrexham and Shrewsbury Rail Users Association last night welcomed the new route. But said they thought journey times mostly more than four hours were too long.
