Catching the 10:27 from Leeds Railway Station from Platform 15B arriving in Hull Paragon on platform 4 at 11:26. Some of us had to get onward tickets for Beverley when suddenly Brian realised he’d left his bag on the train! This ensued a rush back to the train where the cleaners assured us that the bag was not on the train then a member of the railway staff said it had been handed in and could be retrieved at the customer service office on the station forecourt. A sigh of relief as Brian was now once more in possession of his bag again.
Changing on the same platform for the Bridlington Train via Beverley we arrived in Beverley at 12:15 after leaving Paragon at 12:02. On arrival at Beverley we made our way to the Grapes to meet up with Kevin at approximately 12:25 with the short walk to Vanessa’s arriving at around 12:30. As usual because of its popularity we had a twenty minute wait on the stairs but it was well worth it and they even accommodated Kevin’s Cockapoo without a problem. They also said if you know what time you are going to arrive to can always book a table!
We then spent a couple of hours in Vanessa’s chatting about old times at Thackray’s and DePuy to bring Kevin up to date on all the snippets of gossip!
From Vanessa's we now meandered down to the Minster for a look round this munificent building with all its splendour inside and out. However, before entering we said goodbye to Kevin who was now looking forward to a pint in his local but not before a sightseer was commandeered to take a final photograph of the Lads!
We didn’t have too long in the Minster before we had to make our way to Beverley Station for the 15:26 back to Hull which arrived in plenty of time for the 16:03 back to Leeds which arrived a little after 17:00
Another lovely day out for the lads and a pleasant journey on Northern Trains running on time.
Cheers everyone Colin!
