I used to catch the train home from New Street when I worked in Birmingham, and you used to see them all the time taking pictures (I think they have progressed from the notebooks!) and then rushing to another platform.

Also, the Midlands has what was (and maybe still is), the largest marshalling yard in Europe. I would see them there all the time, and when they weren't looking at those, they would go up the nearby steps which led to the side of the motorway and watch the cars!!!!!

So it's quite ok to be a train spotter and a member of the Eddie Stobart fan club as well then?

That must be the ultimate sad pastime Debbie (with apologies to anyone on here who is both a train and an Eddie spotter!!!!!)[:D][:D]

Don't know DM. Were you worried about accommodation or just going on your own?

We can put one person, or a couple up for the night if anybody wanted.
