A first for me and @AnnBishopRowe today - a HST from Reddish South to Denton twice on the “Retro Norfolk Broadsman”! The routing meant the outward and return routes were the same way; were Ann and I the first people ever to do Reddish South to Denton on a HST twice in a day? 🤔

Excellent day out on @retrorailtours Retro Norfolk Broadsman yesterday. Well looked after train from @125Group with an interesting route and some high speed running to really stretch the locos
