Grand Central running again on Saturday. Shame it now departs Eaglescliffe at 10:37 gets into the town at 11:26😞‬

‪Should mean less passengers on the northern trains at least!

GC reply on twitter as to why the train now leaves earlier...

Good move by Grand Central to depart Saturday's from King's Cross earlier at 07.48 instead of 08.06 and arriving at 11.26 in to Sunderland.

An extra 18 mins to get my Scotch pies at Milligans, and an extra pint Fitzies/Jameson.

Just wish the 17.29 back down south would depart 10 mins later, to avoid the dash back if there's plenty of added on time.

I've noticed you mention Milligan's scotch pies, on a few occasions on here, so I'm gonna try one or two, when I get off the GC on Satda 👍

Leave 2 of their lush Scotch pies for me on Saturday marra 👍....after my journey up from Eastbourne it's what I really look forward too, washed down with my pre-match pint.

£1.30p a pie.....worth every penny ☺

I made the mistake of having nowt to eat, before the Ipswich match, and was hammered after a good drink, so I'll not be making the same mistake this Satda.
6 Scotch pies, ought to be enough to soak the beer up. 😉

If I get to Milligans at 11.27 on Saturday and there's no Scotch Pies left, I'll know you've bought the lot you greedy git☺ I know they only bake them off in small amounts....I can see a mad dash from the platform and up the escalator to be front of the queue ☺

No probs mate, I won't be buying any.




I'll get one of my mates in Sunland to call in and buy a dozen, at 11:20 am to save time. 😅

You can follow the trail of crumbs to the Ivy House, where I might just have one pie left, if you're lucky 😉

In the days of Roker Park, I used to get in the cafe along Roker Avenue, for a good scran before my pre match gallon in the Red Lion.
Happy days, great cafe, great pub, crap footy.
