That's such a shame Howard and as you say no-one there for the passengers of the MSC Lirica today on its last visit here this season
Deal have a good team of greeters all year round, I remember them on the station platform and around the town on the two occasions the Orient Express stopped there. I was very impressed with Deal's greeters, they were beautifully turned out complete with straw boaters.I have also seen them on many other occasions. They do Deal proud
