Thursday 08/08/2024 - Northern has completed the first test run along the full length of the new Northumberland Line, as the operator prepares to run services later this year :-

I was being sarcastic. How does anyone know what 'Far-right' lot will do next following the riots and anti-immigration protests have taken place in England, Wales and Northern Ireland since 30 July 2024 that followed a mass stabbing in Southport on 29 July, in which three children were killed. I for one do not know, and will not attempt to speculate, what will happend next regardless of what any political party leader threatens.

I am now informed it's Banff to Vanvcouver tomorrow and then Vancouver to UK on Saturday.

And that will result in the the Far-right thinking Sir Keir know what he is talking about and they will advise all their followers on social media to lay back and enjoy the rest of the summer/autum months until Sir Keir and his mates to sort out everything the Far-right is against

Yep staying in Banff for a few days and today it's Kamloops, according to Google maps it's a 494km drive from Banff to Kamloops, but I don't know if they will be staying overnight in Kamloops and what the next trip will be. It might be a flight from Kamloops Airport (YKA) but no doubt Jacquie will let me know but she does keep forgetting the kids are currently 8 hours behind us in the UK

I know the plan they had was to fly to Alberta and then after 'bear hunting' drive from Banff to Revelstoke but I don't know if they are gong back to Banff. I know they have another flight booked( four hour flight I think) and I think that will be the last journey West or North West and at the end of the holiday they will be flying from the west back to the UK - about 10 days from today (I think).

They are now just 71/2 hours = 735 km from you Vic - in Banff looking for bears but they haven't seen any yet.

Now that you have mentioned them Vic the ice fields had been on their itinery. Photos arrived of them White Water rafting but don't know exactly where

@Vic Patterson haven't got the kids schedule for their holiday accross Canada but they are now on the fith day of the Holiday. Six hour flight from UK to Toronto, Canada followed by two internal flights (one 4 hours and the other 5 hours - I think) West accross canada and at the end of the holiday a seven hour flight back to the UK. I can't ever see it hapening but if I used a smart phone instead of a Desktop PC (with keyboard I still make loads of errors on) then I would be kept up to date with events. First full day was Niagra Falls - Jasper was to be visited on third day but that had to be cancelled following the fire and evacuation etc. The OH has received loads of photos on her mobile - water falls - mountains - cable car rides - bears etc but no info with them. No doubt we will spend a load of time discussing their hoidy and then I'll forget half, if not more, of what they tell me

We just have to hope that after four years, and we haven't been flooded or burnt out, our next opportunity to vote will be influenced by the progression of all parties
