I Went on a Collection Caper to Lancashire and saw the Pennine Tower!

Join me for a 300 mile cross country railway journey to Lancashire to buy a Toyota Hilux, and a 281 mile drive across the UK as I seemingly try to say "Well, here we are then" as many times as possible! Up north, we'll see the iconic and now abandoned Pennine Tower at Lancaster services (or Lancaster Forton services) on the M6. And along the way we'll experience the sights and sounds of London, contrasted with the beautiful peace and quiet of Morecambe Bay and the Lancashire countryside.

    I’ve driven past that tower so many times in my life, I never realised that it was called the Pennine Tower and it was once open to the public. I presumed it was something to do with the Highways Agency. Thanks for the enlightenment!

    I did eat in the tower years ago but it wasn’t fine dining by then ! I think it’s a listed building now. See you used M6 toll , costs a bit but you avoid the dreaded ridges on the elevated Birmingham section, even worse if you’re towing a caravan. Lovely steam engine footage at the end.

    The tower looks even better from the inside, I had a permission visit 5 years ago & it was amazing inside

    You are really lucky to have seen it from the inside, I didn't think they let anyone up there!

    I don't understand the pay structure on this job. Who pays for the train tickets and who pays for all the delays in a day that can put your hours through the roof?

    I'm really lucky that I get paid by the hour from when I leave until I get back. I pay for all my train tickets, but I claim them back on expenses.
