I was seeing the BBC article last night and wondering if I had any contributions to the gaps I could see.  But my one and only visit to Teeside Airport was on a North East Rover ....

The article itself might prompt a few people to make the journey from some of the "missing" stations.  Day out in Northampton?  I'm not really aware of it being a tourist hot-spot.....but all towns tend to have their little surprises.

A trip to Northampton and a meeting there changed my life.  Big surprise.

That's maybe because you don't know the detail of grahame's reference.

The publicity seems to have kept the momentum going at Northampton according to this report on the BBC website.
