Travel Review of the Year 2021 – Part Two (April to June)
The lifting of Covid-19 restrictions in the UK in April meant that I was able to go out on the trains again, and I wasted no time in getting back out there and ticking off more stations on the East Midlands Ranger Area list.

However, I’ve only really been to the city centre for shopping, and, obviously, the railway station to change trains many times.
