RMweb Premium acg5324 Posted January 18, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 18, 2020 One of my first jobs as a Relief Clerk at Brighton was being trained up to operate the switchboard. I vaguely remember Pullman car shed being on the board, although the Buffet cars calls went to Travellers Fare by then. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) On 29/01/2020 at 21:10, Metr0Land said: St Fagans and Chinley according to the caption The Cl.37 is westbound (down) at St. Georges-super-Ely, St. Fagans is just over a mile behind the photographer who must have had local knowledge to find this spot. . The photographer is more or less on the former Barry Railway viaduct trackbed (now the A4232), I was at St Fagans LC the night in 1983 when contractors blew up the Barry viaduct. A rogue stone went through a window of The Greendown Inn which was in the village shown here, a good half mile from the viaduct. .

Class 08 08340 - Wigan North Western This siding was in use right upto the demise of the newspaper traffic, one regular working being the Victoria to Southport papers. In my day this was a class 127 working, the unit would couple to a DMU at Southport ,crew and 127 would then return as the first passenger train back to Victoria via the Atherton line. Sadly I can't remember whether the out bound working was via Atherton or Bolton, I suspect via Atherton as Bolton was served by a loco hauled working to Preston. The picture at Eccles could be the empties SO Glasgow to Redbank as this was a daytime working and occasionally returned via Golborrne and Parkside, but the train looks a little shorter than the normal 12plus vans.

Rugd1022 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 The green 40 at Verney Junction shot is utterly delightful! When they were taken off the WCML expresses once the wires had been switched on, they were used more and more on secondary routes on all sorts of traffic, numerous parcels turns such as this one and even three coach stoppers on the Rugby - Peterborough services. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted March 11, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2020 All those trains full of parcel vans. These days more parcels than ever are on the move at any time. Unfortunately usually delivered by a driver on a zero hours contract in a tatty transit. 4 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
