    Paid my first ever visit to Ruislip today. Very impressive railway, and really good volunteers - all keen, friendly and communicative.

    Only downside is the cost of parking - nearly £20 if staying for more than three hours and not a local resident. I gather this is set by the local authority, who presumably want to do everything they can to discourage visitors. Unfortuantely, that means today is likely to also be my last visit!

    Son't say that! There is a cheaper car park in St. Martin's Approach just off Ruislip High Street. If you feel energetic enough you could walk to the Lido from there; if not you can catch a bus from the High Street. The H13 goes right up to the Lido, and the 331 stops on the main road near the Reservoir Road turning, so a couple of minutes walk to the Lido.
