August began with the longest single day trip of the year, all the way over to Southend-on-Sea! The pier railway was my main focus and very interesting it is too especially the dedicated train. Mid-month were two trips to Merseyside on consecutive weekends which included some travels around the Wirral, Crosby and also visiting the newest railway station on the network Maghull North (which I believe it still is at the moment).
At the end of the month I went to Beaconsfield which has a marvellous model village.
Song of the month was "days of thunder" by The Midnight.
