Crosskeys on the Ebbw Vale line - looking north where the fog had lifted.
We did Newport to Crosskeys , then to Ebbw Vale and back to Cardiff -then back to London.
The line is being upgraded with more twin tracking for considerable flexibility. Having been involved in the previous century on getting this and the Vale of Glamorgan line being re-opened , it is a great credit to see how how the area has really improved in terms of ambience , and how well used in the middle of the day, the trains are.

I got that wrong then. I thought it was Carmarthen.

We had a running joke till I retired from the railway , that the Station Manager at Carmarthen was really where I should have ended up. To the extent I got presented with a carriage clock engraved "from the staff at Carmarthen on your promotion to Buggleskely" - <the fictional station where Will Hay was SM in the splendid film "Oh Mr Porter" >

Sorry for thread derail....just wondered what you thought of German Gym. I ate there with my daughter last weekend. I found the food underwhelming but the black forest was dreadful. Once we broke the ice with our waitress we had a great laugh with her. Suggest she is not like this with many people. Maybe 4/10 from me.

Clams on the half shell, and roller skates.
I enjoyed it, I had the Käsekrainer, Sauerkraut and Crispy Onions. I like to think you'd have go out of your way to make crispy onions badly.
It's certainly not the best restaurant I've been to but it served its purpose - to fill us up with hearty food before a long walk/dance/drink around the carnival.
I found the staff there a delight too.
I'd perhaps give it 7 out of 10.

Not jealous, not in the slightest.

How do I change this 'custom title' thing then?
Is that one the old Paris Gare de Nord which they moved to Lille? If so it is very picturesque…
I didn't know about that until I googled just now but yes, it is

Your pic has reminded me of one of the four times in my life when I’ve eaten cannabis, each one with hilarious consequences (for those around me at least). The Amsterdam instance was the second time I ingested it, against my better instincts after the first experience. This was literally the evening we were heading back to London, and the pot hit as we were looking at the massive departure board for our train to the airport.
My OH pretty much had to hand-hold walk me to the train, because I barely knew who I was or wtf I was doing there. And once at Schiphol airport, the interminably long concourses did my head in further. Then as I started to feel slightly better and less paranoid, I took it upon myself to retrieve a plush teddy bear I’d earlier lost at the airport, and what I thought was ten minutes turned out to be nearly 45, with my furious girlfriend waiting for me at the gate, and an even more furious set of passengers giving me the evil eye when we boarded.
Bottom line: mind your drugs if you’re due to use Amsterdam‘s transport system on the day.

Had a similar experience when I had a bike in Amsterdam and got a train to the port and a ferry part of the way home.
Instead of ending up at home, I ended up about 60 miles from home in Worthing I think, where I slept for the night, I think, before going straight to work next morning
