Hroth Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hmm... The "Royal Route" to to the Broads smacks of "The Great Way Round", unless you're travelling from Derby.... As for the girls with golf sticks, I find their intense expressions and firm jaw lines rather disconcerting, as if they're imagining taking a swipe at something completely different! As for the Young Lady at Whitley Bay, what's she on??? I fear that the starfish is going to end up down the back of someone elses cozzie..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owd Bob Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 At last i can join in with summat I love Barmouth and the area. Heres a few old pics' and bad scans of mine, but it keeps my hand in on this thread, Loved it in the '60's and '70's as a kid on my hols' stayin' at the local Sunnysands Caravan Park. Always plenty of double headed 24's and 25's back then, and when the old station buildings and footbridge still survived. This is probably one of the last pics' i have with the old wooden station building behind this DMU thingy taken in the early '90's. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold Argos Posted July 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2018 Bit of artistic license there - I don't think the Caledonian main line passes through any country quite that mountainous. The Midland was rather more honest about its scenery - whilst making a good deal out of it: MR Derbyshire poster.jpg Readers, please excuse this little poster war. Other attractions are available. Speaking of Royal Routes: mgnr1908.jpg In all fairness if I was travelling to Scotland from the South in the late 1880s I suspect the Midland/GSWR route would have been a most rewarding option, Decent bogie carriages, efficient brakes and stunning scenery through the Yorkshire Dales. By way of a piece offering I present We used to live a few miles form the Monsal Head viaduct and the climb up passed the old mine by Monsal Head station was a regular mountain bike route. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold phil_sutters Posted July 14, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) The Golfing Girl came south, too, it seems. Here she is in a picture that I cannot make match the view westward from Seaford Head, however hard I try - I think the artist was guilty of terraforming. And, another one of her. Thank you for the Seaford poster. The town has spread a lot since then! There certainly seems to have been some major rearrangement of the South Downs in the poster and Newhaven has been wiped from the landscape altogether, despite having three railway stations.

RMweb Premium NCB Posted July 14, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 14, 2018 Bit of artistic license there - I don't think the Caledonian main line passes through any country quite that mountainous. Well, not the main line as such, but if you arrived in Scotland via the west coast route you could continue via the Callender & Oban, essentially Caledonian, which definitely had some mountains around it. Fair enough, I'd have thought. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop being so frivolous on a serious thread like this. There's far too much at stake. However, I'll forgive you this time, as you do make some useful points from time to time.

RMweb Gold Anotheran Posted July 15, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 15, 2018 Surely in the modern context of this forum a post grouping is simply referred to as a thread. Thus this pre grouping thread is a post grouping. According to a poster above, post grouping is not relevant to this thread. Doesn't that make the whole thread, a post grouping, irrelevant to itself? It's not just the aforementioned time machine that can cause paradoxes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
