This afternoon I travelled on the oldest train in regular service on the British mainland rail network, and then on one of the newest. Where did I change?
(And no, you can't answer if I've already told you!)

Mainland....
ReplyDeleteSo you weren't on the Isle of Wight?
To be clear, do you mean "oldest train" as in "inside oldest carriages" or as in "behind oldest locomotive"?
ReplyDeleteI think it's not so old that the answer can't be 'both'
DeleteManchester Piccadilly? (having taken the trans-Pennine train from Sheffield via Grindleford)
ReplyDeleteNice try but even older than a Pacer

ReplyDeleteThe oldest trains through Sheffield would be the High Speed Trains (HSTs) run by what is now East Midlands Railway and Cross Country Trains. The newest in that part of the world are LNER's new Azumas. Cross Country and LNER meet up at Doncaster.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't up north
ReplyDeleteThe answer is Brighton.
ReplyDeleteGuess you travelled on Volk's Electric Railway?
