Thank you for publishing this beautifully written piece on the joys of the Settle to Carlisle railway. Probably my favourite piece I have read from your kindly donated free links to the FT. Could you persuade the author to take Jay and Marina out on some foodie train based odyssey please?

Staffordshire oatcakes? Marvellous! Hair looking very neat too.

Fabulous coastline, we are so blessed in Kent and Sussex!

Absolutely love their music! Nothing to be embarrassed about!

Just seen the latest video from Jerry Dyer @bigjet.tv very ably assisted as always by the marvellous Gilly. So good to see Jerry back out and about after his hospital stay, but please take it easy and don't rush your recovery! Wishing you all the best, Tracy

🙌
