Also pleased I caught Shaws service 100 between Spalding and Market Deeping considering the plug is about to be plugged on that one (although Delaine are offering a replacement service IIRC), Delaine being another I would like to check more out of.
Would quite like to get down towards Skegness again but difficult to do in a day, may have to do some trips where I stay over in the future.
Did the Falcon you rode, have an 'odd' seating layout?
Always got mixed up with some of the fleet, with them looking quite similar externally.
Those two you mentioned are both interesting vehicles.
Sure Scott mentioned once that MK52XNN had spent time at Stephensons of Easingwold. It lacked power whenever I had it down there.
Skeggy is do-able in a day, depending on where you're starting from. If you end up in Horncastle, the route the PC Coaches 10 is a nicer ride to/from Lincoln than the Stagecoach 56. Breaks up the trip to/from Skeggy a bit too.
The Brylaine A6 and A8 provides decent links to/from Horncastle with Coningsby or Boston (and the IC5) too.
