Does it terminate in Lancaster?

No it’s going to Carnforth.

I'd best get dressed, and get out there later

That’s why I gave you the link so you could see where it was.

I Always get there at least 30min early for these things.

One coach - the support coach. This was just returning to base between railtour jobs.

I went here to see it, 15 mins before.  It was 4 minutes early, by the time I'd got my phone camera out it was gone, and not in a puff of smoke.

You could have said you were coming! I'd have put kekkle on!

Tadaaaaaaaaa....

No Lancaster Station. 400m from where you took your pic

Hell I couldn't fathom it out and I've been there often enough.

Its not Avanti or First Transpontine so don't expect it to be late

Pontines sounds very exotic
