NOT, IT'S NOTHING TO DO WITH KYLIE I'M AFRAID, ALTHOUGH I AM SURE IF MADONNA CAN DRINK TTL THEN WHY SHOULDN'T KYLIE DRINK MITHRIL. SHE IS AFTER ALL A SIMILAR SIZE TO A HOBBIT - BUT FAR MORE ATTRACTIVE!.
SEPTEMBER THE 27TH MARKED THE OFFICIAL OPENING OF THE STOCKTON - DARLINGTON LINE IN 1825. IT TOOK TWO HOURS TO COMPLETE THE FIRST TWELVE MILES OF THE JOURNEY. IN RETROSPECT IT MAY HAVE BEEN QUICKER TO WALK?
I MAY NOT HAIL FROM EITHER OF THESE TWO TOWNS, BUT IT IS AMAZING TO THINK THAT HERE IN THE NORTH A REVOLUTION IN TRANSPORT WAS STARTED. WHICH IS STILL GOING STRONG TODAY.
