Those long freight trains that rumble along our line at all hours are going to/from a quarry near Buxton.  It is reached by a freight-only spur off the Manchester to Sheffield linen near Chinley.

Just wondering, Amazon, do you mean Tiviot Dale rather than divot Dave ???

Not that I remember Tiviot Dale - but I do know of it.

No probs Amazon.

Not sure whether the spell checker (on the Marple Website) would have worked though as both 'divot' and 'Dave' were spelt correctly.

I think, in some cases, it's probably your iPad correcting your spellings (it possibly didn't recognise the word Tiviot).

It's the '3:10 from Yuma' which was a good film!
