Done, again.
I notice that this time there is also a question to stop spam. I wonder if someone somewhere did some block entries?

[IDM]

Done, apologies if I have unwittingly stolen anyone’s idea, I went for “John Ryan’s Express”

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Just the simple Doncaster Rover would be fitting.

[Silkscarf]

Perhaps the name 'Doncaster' might be more suitable? Simply celebrating the town itself and its rail heritage. I know Rovers is part of that history but a more general name might be better.

[IDM]

Passengers might get confused if/when “Doncaster” doesn’t actually stop at the town station!

I like that idea IDM.
There will be some who don’t though I guess.

[Mike_F]

Done again!

I've sent in my suggestion... Dominic Cummings. The only problem being It will only go as far as Durham.

And back to London, then back to Durham..

Done- I thought we agreed on Doncaster Rovers like the steam train? Thew more we dilute ideas the less chance surely??

[Donnywolf]

Yes - so did I and maybe it will dilute the attempts to get Doncaster Rovers as THE name


One great coincidence that I pointed out last time and kept in this time


61657 Doncaster Rovers was built at Darlington (in the much in the news Co.Durham) and the Azuma was built at Newton Aycliffe (also in the much in the news Co.Durham)
