The Staycation Express

Just doing odd jobs around the place this week as from Monday to Saturday I am commentating on the now famous Staycation Express, running an all first-class scheduled service between Skipton and Appleby.  Click on the link below to see part of the coverage on BBC Breakfast this morning.

The web is awash with super photographs too.

The commentary position is in the front carriage, right behind the locomotive, which is good in that the sights appear there for mention first.  OK when going north as here but that coach is at the back of the train when going south so you have to think ahead.
