As I'm seeing no bites at all ... and perhaps I have overdone the "where am I" this week on places a l-o-n-g way from the GWR▸ (Great Western Railway) area, I'll fill you in.   Pictured is the weekly train that calls at Teeside Airport, from which I had just disembarked.  I walked to the next station at Dinsdale, joining an onward train there about 90 minutes later.   Glad I walked FROM the "Airport" Station as I might have had some difficulty getting to it had I been looking to walk from Dinsdale to it.

Further pictures from the day
