    I have managed to get a discount at the Ramada Crewe for anyone who needs to stay overnight.

    You MUST ring direct 01270 504050

    and mention "train of hope tour"

    I think it would be difficult to answer that as I don't suppose WCR have any idea what is being used. I will try to remember at the weekend to see if the 1st class do have holders.

    Along the side of the roof coaches used to have holders where wooden boards were fitted with the name of the train, ie Merseyside Express, or Emerald Isle Express.

    Hello.

    for our charity rail tour we need some hi vis vests for the stewards. I have been looking at getting some printed with our logo on the front and rear. The best price I have come up with is £62.50 for 10 delivered which I think is a good price. :SMILE:

    Is there anyone here that maybe able to help sponsor us by purchasing these for us for our event?

    Please get in contact if you can www.trainofhope.co.uk johnyoung877@btinternet.com or 07796350559 regards and thank you.

    Tickets arrived today, including the free 1st class travel on that day for anyone with ToH ticket... That's got to be a good offer.

    It is, just a pity I'm nowhere near a Virgin Trains route.

    Doesn't say which way you have to be travelling, so I could always get an earlier train from Crewe up to Preston and then back again for 9am....:tongue:
