Sad to leave the peaceful Merse on such a nice looking day and brace ourselves for the heat and dirt of Lunnon Town and the aggressive Big Issue vendors. GNER has been behaving well since they regained their franchise but the loos continue to give problems-usually out of water by York and blocked by Newcastle. But we are going south, the train starting in Embra so with a bit of luck all will be smelling like Roses when he board (or more likely GNER's own Air freshener, double strength deals with the midges as well)- a quick relief and then hold your water until sampling the facilities in N13. Can't wait. But will have tro.
