It was a nice venue for it, too, as we were able to have lunch at the picnic area and Little'un had a few goes on the massive slide - 2 goes going up each ladder, to be precise, because them's the rules

I was half tempted to buy a model of the MPD that's been passing our house almost every Sunday for the past year or so and is doing it's last run on the 59, today, but it would inevitably have been given a new livery by someone at some point and I wasn't going to pay £9 for something that would end up ruined with sticky tape. We'll stick to cheap crap from Wilko for as long as he's in that habit.

I noticed someone started experimenting with the destination displays on the Max, just before we left

I do think it is quite funny when people start playing around with them as it is something magical....when they are part of your job and like this week with Quaylinks a bloody nightmare, the last thing you want to see is a destination, DERIC or DG3
