>>1804960Just one of those amazing, small slices in time: honestly, for me, it's the 70s onward and the change from an engineer-led business to a management-led business
>>1804961Looked it up and it's Leicester to Warrington through the Pennines, I think? The route's absolutely gorgeous, and with it being the dead of winter you're going to get absolutely spectacular views at sunrise and sunset.
>if there are any must see train shit>Been to York...as in, a whistle-stop trip to the city? - because there's the free-entry (make a donation pls) National Railway Museum, five minutes' walk directly from York station, which is absolutely a required pilgrimage if you're at all interested in rail. It's an hour or two by rail from just about anywhere, and you can easily make half a day of it.
Locomotion in Shildon is a good day out as well, it's the younger sibling of the NRM only with a focus on British steam (with Shildon being one of the original railway towns) and diesels.
