No, Rog; this one is Paddington bear and he was waiting for his train at Strathpeffer in January. He'll have a bit of a wait though - next train isn't due until the local group can organise £2.5m to rebuild the line to Fodderty Junction for use as a 'Heritage' line 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,597 Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 Don't deserve to have a chair if he can't sit on it properly,rap across the knuckles with a ruler should cure him of that habit (with no witnesses of course) Rog 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
