With EMR offering Advance tkts for under£8 each way between St Pancras and Luton Airport, which include the new DART shuttle, I had to go take a ride.

Was asked how to book 1st class on Glacier Express 'Classic' Chur to Brig,

But on some July departures 1st class availability is already v. limited.
Reading this was a lovely start to the week, but why include only six on the list?
But if we're playing that game my Top 6 are The Bluebell, Great Central, Mid-Hants, NYMR, Severn Valley & The Worth Valley😃

The Amberley #Museum
amberleymuseum.co.uk/ has been on the must-go list since pre-lockdown, so it was great to finally get there.
8 year old me would have been in raptures and adult me wasn't disappointed either.
👍to the mix of left in situ industry and smart exhibit halls.
And as it is a 2 minute walk from Amberley station, it's an obvious and overdue addition, to the days out from London by train #travelguides
