HD Northampton Toys R Us Closing Down Sale, Smyths Toy Superstore & North Gate Bus Station 9/03/2018
RIP Toys R Us, this is my tribute to the store. Trip to Northampton one at Saint James Retail Park, on the bus to see Toys R Us for the last time and trip to Smyths and McDonalds, also went past Weston Favell Centre and Jeyes Chemist Earls Barton in Northamptonshire! I also show you Inspiration FM and the new North Gate Bus Station that replaced Greyfriars Bus Station in 2014 and you can see some Northampton Stagecoach Buses on the 9th March 2018.
I brought Stephen and Hurricane in the Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends adventures range and Cormac in Chuggington range!
It's a magical place. We're on our way there.
The old Toys R Us jingle has worn thin. Now it's on its way out.
The retailer's UK arm has gone into administration, putting thousands of jobs at risk.
It isn't that we have stopped indulging our children's demands. Argos and The Entertainer are still successfully separating children from their pocket money. Disney and Lego are still going strong.
Five Years Toys R Us failed and went into Administration! Toys R Us in the UK and electronics chain Maplin are on the brink of collapse, putting 5,500 jobs at risk.
The struggling retailers - two of the UK's best known chains - are understood to have put administrators on standby after failing to secure a rescue deal.
Maplin - owned by Rutland Partners - had put the business up for sale, but talks with a potential buyer are understood to have broken down. Toys R Us was also seeking a possible sale but has failed to secure a buyer.
Maplin has 200 stores and 2,500 staff in the UK, while Toys R Us employs about 3,000 workers in its 105 stores.
Maplin in talks with potential buyers
The toy chain in the UK - whose US owner filed for bankruptcy protection last September - is facing an imminent deadline for a £15m VAT bill which it will not be able to pay without selling the business.
It had managed to stave off collapse in December by agreeing a rescue plan to allow it to restructure its operations, including the closure of at least 26 stores planned for this Spring.
But with poor sales continuing into the new year and the VAT bill looming, the only route left for the firm to continue trading was to find a buyer which is now understood to be unlikely.Toys R Us in the UK has blamed its problems on its warehouse-style stores.
It opened these in the 1980s and 1990s, but it said in December that they had become too big and expensive to run in the current retail environment.
The UK business is understood to have made a loss for seven out of the past eight years of trading.
Retail analyst Kate Hardcastle, from Insight With Passion, said both Toys R Us and Maplin had cut staffing to try to cut costs, which had led to poor service in the shops.
She said for Toys R Us, the problem was particularly acute because it sold mainly branded goods.
Therefore to succeed you need to offer some kind of differentiating factor - either a good discount or an experience that makes visiting the stores worthwhile.
Toys R Us didn't move with the times. It didn't do discounts or retail theatre, she said.

ST CRISPINS STREET FAIR IN NORTHAMPTON. UK. 2016.
The church I claimed was St Crispins in the video, was in fact All Saints Church. Thanks to Ryan Leivers, for pointing this out to me.
The St Crispin Street Fair is an annual fair held the town centre of Northampton, England organised by Northampton Borough Council though it is not held every year. A travelling funfair with over 100 amusement rides operating from 10:30am to 10:30pm on several days of the October half-term school holiday with the precise days varying from year to year. The fair was also held from October 28-31 in 2012. Shop owners raised concerns about how the new fair could affect their business during Halloween weekend. In 2014 the fair was held from October 25th to 29th with a large part of the fair held on a nearby car park. this is because one of the streets, The Drapery, is now used as an overflow bus station. Last year's event, 2015, attracted over 80,000 people, with this year hoping to see the same. As was the case last year, the rides will be both in town centre streets and Commercial Street car park, next to the St Peter’s Way Roundabout.
NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH : The Northampton Historic Street Fair, hosted by the Northampton Area Chamber of Commerce, will be held on Saturday, September 10th, 2016 ... rain or shine. The Fair is located in the area of 1700 to 2100 Main Street in the Borough of Northampton, Pennsylvania, 18067. This free, family fun event has a variety of clubs, arts and crafts, pet supplies, businesses, plus food and entertainment. There is something for everyone.

HD No. 2168 Edmundsons Mince Pie Special Rushden, Higham and Wellingborough Railway 28/12/2017
On 28th December 2017, Andrew Barclay 0-4-0ST No 2168 Edmundsons. Built in 1940 pulling the Mince Pie Special at Rushden Transport Museum also know as Rushden Historical Transport Society R.H.T.S. This is probably the last time I'll see Edmundsons running for a while as she is undergoing an overhaul. That will take about a year, trains running from 11am to 3:30pm chance to ride on the train and get a mince pie and free hot drink!
The Rushden, Higham & Wellingborough Railway is a heritage railway operated by the Rushden Historical Transport Society in the United Kingdom.
The original aim was to re-open the majority of the ex-Midland Railway branch line from Wellingborough to Higham Ferrers, which had been closed completely in November 1969, however this is no longer the intention. As of April 2016, around 1⁄2 mile (0.8 km) stretch of the line is operated between Rushden station and Prospect Avenue. There are plans to extend the line to Higham Ferrers. I also went to Osborne's Sports and Toys there a shop that has been there since 1955 and the nearby ASDA store! I also drove the Class 31 206 Diesel here, you can see the link here HD Train Driving Experience on Class 31206 Diesel, Rushden Transport Museum, 19th October 2016. I usually run a display here with my hornby and bachman Thomas trains, in a cabinet you can see an ERTL Thomas model of Bluebell and James the red engine, on some Thomas Jigsaw building blocks puzzle cubes in one of the cabinets of a photo I took! You can also see Blue Circle who Fergus is based upon! You can also see Osborne's Sports and Toys, a toy shop open by Jim Osborne (1931-2015, aged 83) in 1955 still running today, I went there and in Rushden Asda.
