- 2019 October, Chris Stokes, “Between the Lines”, in Modern Railways, page 97:
  This is a far cry from the days when summer Saturdays on the North Wales coast were by far the busiest days of the year, with successive full length loco-hauled trains, but life has changed: families no longer travel by rail to spend a fortnight's holiday at British seaside resorts!
