Back in 1993 I had several trips out in search of "Grids & Bones on Black Gold or Old King Coal" before the workings stopped & these come from two trips by train in May of that year! 56104 Goldthorpe Colliery branch 130593 (6R89)
56104 (TO - FEDN) - 6R89 (0929 ThO? STP Milford Sidings - Goldthorpe Colliery, which was formed of 36 empty HAAs & departed Milford at 0824) - Goldthorpe Colliery branch - 1005 - 13/05/93.
I knew my annual car mileage in the last 12 months was low, but I got a shock yesterday when the car passed it's MOT & it had fallen from 5,727 miles in 2019 to just 2,508 in 2024, but that's what you get if you add a urine infection for six weeks in the summer, on top of the normal problems caused by Spina Bifida (at least the local charities will benefit more than normal this year [I hope those who have spent more than 30 days or had more than 10 trips to Europe will support their charities] & the planet will benefit from my reduced carbon footprint)!!
