I see that that Darlington icon, the Brick Train is to be refurbished to its original condition thanks to the sterling efforts of Darlington MP Lalalala Lola McEvoy. Personally I thought it never looked better than when it briefly appeared in blue and white livery.

I remember doing a cartoon in the Monkey Biz for the brick train…after a Pools win.

Refurbishment? - it's a fucking pile of bricks- stacked in a train type shape. Were they expecting it to move? or maybe they've decided to add an Heskulator and some gold taps! Only in loidland

All it needs is a jet wash and repointing……so it ain’t gonna break the bank….as long as politicians aren’t involved.

if its darlo related surely Brick is a spelling error and they could not find the letter P.

Exactly

A brick monkey wouldn't look quite right....Would any of you even know how to use an Etch A Sketch for the design?

It’s not actually in Lola’s constituency, Matt Vickers is the MP in that area. Vickers organised the clean up whereas Lola turned up a week later for a photo op claiming credit for it.

Ah thanks for the clarification LS, Lola obviously knows how to handle the media as there was a big article in the NE regarding the Streak!
