RMweb Premium 65179 Posted May 23, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 23, 2020 You're bringing back some fond memories for me with those photos of Crewe's Stanlow pool of 47s. Seeing a pair of them putting the power down through Manchester Victoria ready to lift their Jarrow-bound tanks was always fun. Thanks for sharing.

flapland Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So glad I had moved to London and didn't witness the destruction of Victoria. I have of course been back since and hate the new or not so new side now of the station. At least they have done a nice job of the remaining Victorian part of the station in the recent restoration/upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivercider Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Those Westbury photos bring back memories. For a few months in 1991/92 I worked on the ground floor of the brick building signposted Westbury Area Freight Centre, which I believe was formerly the coal office? cheers 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 24, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 24, 2020 Just discovered this thread, absolutely fantastic. Its about as modern as I like the railway. I was lucky enough to be working on BR at this time happy days when common sense still prevailed and not run by over paid risk adverse management who know nothing about the job. Even in this late period of BR the main focus was to keep the job going when things went wrong 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
