March 2025. Goole.

9 minutes till the train from Goole to Ye Olde Saltmarshe, the final step in my epic journey, and I would need 2 minutes of that to mispronounce my request stop to the Northern Trains guard.
Let’s explore Pasture Road;

Pierogi,

an unusual career change for a carpenter,

and a change of home for top negotiator David Davis due to parliamentary boundaries.

From posh Haltemprice (a fictional) place to very real, if faded, Goole. At least he’s one Tory who (just) held his seat last year.

Five minutes to swiftly revisit Tom Pudding, an excellent micro I raved about here just before COVID, and filling up on opening with glorious cask turnover.

“Don’t be offended if I neck this half of Old Peculier in 30 seconds, I’ve got a train to Saltmarshe to catch“.

He wasn’t offended.
