A first for me and @AnnBishopRowe today - a HST from Reddish South to Denton twice on the “Retro Norfolk Broadsman”! The routing meant the outward and return routes were the same way; were Ann and I the first people ever to do Reddish South to Denton on a HST twice in a day? 🤔

I’d like to wish all of our customers a very Merry Christmas. We hope to see you onboard in the New Year. We had a little ride out on the Retro Railtours Metrobus the other day, and one of stewards caught this cracking shot - about as festive as I get! 🎄🎄🎅🏼🎅🏼🍾🍾
