UTL meet
We haven't had one for a few years. I'm thinking that the last day before the Goblin closes in June might be a time for us to meet up, travel the line together and then retire to a pub. Is anyone up for that? |

I haven't frequented it for several years so it may have changed. I recall it's linked to The Three Jolly Wheelers at Woodford Bridge: same menu, same all-day business model, same lay-out inside. |

Is anyone up for that? Do we know the actual date of the closure? I know its June. But, the day of the month does not appear anywhere I have seen. |

[1] You can sit outside in the sunshine and watch the trains go past. :-) http://www.theferryboatlondon.co.uk/ It's also a shortish stroll to T Hale for those who would prefer a main line train into Liv St or north into Essex / Cambs. Now you're talking! The Line's User Group do have a "refreshment" page on their website but not sure how up to date it is. The Standard by Blackhorse Rd is long gone as much of the area behind it is being demolished. http://www.barking-gospeloak.org.uk/refreshment.htm [1] a sllightly selfish option as I can get home on the bus directly from the pub. Best to own up now! Sounds fairly promising, especially in June. -- Colin Rosenstiel |

The Southampton Arms near Gospel Oak always has great beer and ciders from small independent breweries. I like to visit this pub if can when I'm in London. http://www.thesouthamptonarms.co.uk/ Only problem is it's quite small, so fills up quickly. You could meet up there, then travel the line and retire to one of the larger pubs in Barking. -- jhk |
