The Great Central Railway at Loughborough would have been a 284 miles round trip.

The National Motorcycle Museum would have been a 336 miles round trip.

As Iain didn't make it, the railway would have been halfway, not the museum.

Fareham to the museum is 142 miles (2.5 hours), same as it would have been for me to Loughborough.

The museum would have been over 3 hours each way for me.

Sorry I missed this topic.

If you do decide to go there one day, I would definitely recommend the Great Central Railway. However, the station at Quorn (not Loughborough) would probably a better location. Unless there’s an event on, they used to let bikes park in the service yard where you always have sight of them from the platforms. There’s also a nice (but expensive) pub over the road. At the Loughborough station you have to park on the road and it’s a pretty rough part of town.

Hope that’s useful for the future.
