No, don't mind at all. Found it quite funny.

Gonna have snipers climb the wind turbines - got long range spud guns trained on the ar$es of those who dare badmouth the FPF.
The FPF have also trained/recruited members of the South Hetton Wildboys and Easington Lane Wildgirls, to sneak up the old railway line and push people off bikes into nettle bushes too.

I wasn't riding a bike, but I was lured and pushed into a bush of nettles by an older boy when I was about five years old. I was living in Blaydon at the time.I know a lass who once nettled her flaps when she was having a wee in a bush

Go during the week, whatever you do. On the slowest train possible.
If you time it right, you should get a breakfast and daytime meal out of it going down.
Never worked out the best time to come back.
Hope for delays or overhead wire problems and milk 1st class for all it is worth.
You should get at least two servings and sit as close to the kitchen as possible - you will be served first and get first choice on the menu!
(09 Dec 2014, 6:50 pm)MarcTheA4 Jesus that's brilliant!
Ya know how me n'you have grown quite close over the past 6 months, what with meh giving you advise about your Arkansassy woman!
Nah take whoever you want! - enjoy it!

When I went down to London with East Coast in October, I had a Class 43 HST on the 08:38 from Durham, so that would be the 08:20ish from Newcastle. From what I've seen, it's always a HST.
One thing I would definitely look into, Adam, is using the Flying Scotsman service. You know the one that starts at Edinburgh at like 05:40, gets to Newcastle for bang on 07:00 and arrives into King's Cross for about 10:00? Get on that.
I imagine it'll be a worthwhile experience. I'd absolutely love to do that! (Hintedy hint hint!)

(09 Dec 2014, 7:26 pm)aureolin I love the Flying Scotsman service. I'll always aim to get that one, as it makes a massive amount of difference when it's non-stop.

(09 Dec 2014, 7:30 pm)MarcTheA4 Indeed. Never been on it, but it's just one of those things I aim to do, maybe when I've got some spare cash at Uni!
Just checked a few things, and a whole set can carry about 500 people, and I remember in All Aboard: East Coast Trains hearing the narrator say about 100 get on at Edinburgh and the same at Newcastle, before going non-stop to King's Cross. Should make a pretty nice journey.
@Adam, I imagine the Flying Scotsman service won't be a HST. What with a Class 91 + Mk4 Set being in a special livery for it, and apparently being allocated to it!
