Busy Sunday - Part 2 - Cotton Mill Express

This was a bonus - arriving at Manchester Victoria yesterday morning at 1030, I wandered into the bar (just to have a look - it was shut -the "alky bit" !) - but noted it was very busy - and then I spotted John Hesketh - the Stalybridge Buffet Bar supremo - and Mrs John as well. They were waiting for the "Cotton Mill Express" charter which was running about 90 minutes late. Further checking showed that I'd just catch it before having to shoot off to Salford Crescent / Preston / Kendal .... and I did ! Pictures to be found at
