Hopefully the promised rain will abate sufficiently later this coming week to enable me to walk the 12 miles from Wetheral to Brampton. I will not be alone as my good friend Iain Liddell is joining me as we consider the first template of Ticket2Stride. A combination of concise route description, logistics, and place to place intrepretation for linear day walking journeys. Public transport needs to play its part in relieving the roads of cars for local leisure and recreation and T2S can evolve to become a major contributory resource, especially when adopted by tranport operators with political funding support to offer discount ticketing and smart phone downloads.
