Swindon 123 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Finsbury Park...? 1995-7233_LIVST_LS_662.jpg Pretty certain it's Stratford. Shed doesn't look long enough for FP. The 31 looks to be 5509, a Toffee apple, which wouldn't have been seen at FP, (to my knowlage) and the buildings that can just be made out in the background look like those at Stratford. Paul J.

RMweb Gold DaveF Posted September 4, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) Seventh one looks like the north end of Leicester Midland..... It is. The train was a Leicester to Peterborough working, circa 1951, taken by my father JWFord. It is on RMWeb in my black and white thread and also on my flickr site. I'm not quite sure how it found its way into this thread, but I don't mind, I'm just pleased people like my photos..

Swindon 123 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 And the eighth one is Swindon. To continue in numerical sequence, the ninth one is interesting in that i think that is the first shot I've seen of a Class 115 DMU in Blue SYP. At Marylebone of course. Paul J.

RMweb Gold PhilH Posted September 7, 2016 RMweb Gold Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) I belong to a facebook group in which people post photos etc. of Bulleid pacifics. A prolific poster is Nigel Kendall who has a superb archive of photos which he took back in the early 60s. This one I feel certainly meets the brief of this thread...this is his description of it. Edit..this is, of course, posted with his permission 'On a murky 28th May 1965 off-duty fireman Ronald Whittaker (RIP) chats with driver Charlie 'Happy' Gordon at Bournemouth Central. The loco is BB Pacific 34087 and the train is the 'Bournemouth Belle' Pullman to London Waterloo. I was at college in Bournemouth in those days and I was always able to watch the departure of the 'Belle' before getting my own train home, which pulled in just after it left.'

Chubber Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Don't know why, this picture touched me [or 'us', SWMBO and me]. Young man, with what in our family we call a 'Yum-Yum box', a way of life soon to be past etc. She rarely comments on much here [we share] other to say 'Too clean....' or 'What colour green is that supposed to be ?? {vegetation} but we both looked at this one and said 'Oh...!' Funny thing, memories, I wish we understood what was hard wired to the front of our brains. We would not miss 'University Challenge'. A few weeks ago, a question on neural systems evoked my responses "synapse", "myelination" {Sp?] and "axon", words that have not consciously entered what passes for my 'mind' for 55 years. They earned all the bonus points. What the [expletive] made that one picture trigger such a powerful reaction? Doug P.S. All of you [stationmaster zooms for'd] who can add flesh to the bones of these pictures, please continue to do so, porridge is porridge, but a little seasoning makes it 'tasty'.

RMweb Premium phil-b259 Posted September 11, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 11, 2016 Taking advantage of a road closure for Level crossing resurfacing to renew a barrier boom side arm (Apologies to Reigate residents for the traffic chaos) Lots of other work going on today at Redhill in the possession too (not pictured) including crossing renewals, IBJ renewals and sleeper renewals in the complex pointwork to the south of the station plus new signalling cables being run in as part of the Platform zero project. The tamping has been deferred to later as rail temperatures were reaching at least 35 degrees in the sunshine and there is too much risk of causing buckles to appear in such conditions. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Kazmierczak Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Re-post 1543, Ron Whittaker later became a long-standing councillor in Bournemouth and served a term as the borough's Mayor.
