Nope, it’s a rather fetching shade of blue!

[NorthernMonkey]

Never realised how many bloody stations there are on this line 

[Tayne]

Is it an e36?

[Split_Pin]

Safe travels! 

[NorthernMonkey]

Welcome to Preston, where McDonalds doesn’t open until 09.00!

Does Fairtrade taste anything like coffee?

Lovely sunny morning here in Aberdeenshire, ideal for a pre collection inspection.

It’s blue, up near Aberdeen, it’s got an odd number of wheels and an unusual transmission set up.

How many clues do you lot need?? I can’t make it much more obvious…

It’s actually decent coffee…I’m not a massive fan of Greggs usually but I get a free cup every week with a banking app I use and this is quite nice.

There were six of us in the shop at 07.00 and I was the only one not wearing a train company uniform! 😂

I'm told my my other half that Greggs hot chocolate is better than any other chain (posh ones included)! 

If this is REV - I'm excited to see the journey and eventual re-uniting. 

[NorthernMonkey]

I’ll try the chocolate next week then 👍

That'll be on the way back then ...

[Split_Pin]

Remember folks, not necessarily all of the wheels are touching the ground or even fitted. My E46 has an odd number of wheels, as an example.

[High Jetter]

Chodspeed, whatever you return in. Or on.

Mrs NM is finding this whole carry on hilarious…

From the comfort of her office at home, I hasten to add… 🤨

[NorthernMonkey]

Someone has got too much time on her hands, me thinks? 🤔

That really suits you.

[NorthernMonkey]

As long as there’s a cup holder, it’ll be fine 👍

[comfortablynumb]

Why not go the whole hog and take it to visit @Dyslexic Viking?🤣

[Supernaut]

Well, I haven't sold anything as far as I'm aware.

I'm going to take a punt that he's going to a certain farm vaguely in the general vicinity of Laurencekirk.

[wuvvum]

[NorthernMonkey]

And onto the next train at Edinburgh heading even further north.

This may well be the pinnacle of comfort on this excursion.

It's only a little over 1600 miles one way so why not.
