RMweb Gold russ p Posted May 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2018 I once came across a signalman with a sence of humour I failed on the east coast north of York about 1989/90 I got on the phone and said I'm a complete failure, which is the correct term... He says hey dont be so hard on yourself at least you have a job!... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-UnitMad Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Birmingham New Street South panel closed this weekend - someone has a sense of humour .. newstpanelclosure.jpg The Box may have been in Birmingham, but it looks like it was a Black Country man who did it.

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 27, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 27, 2018 Ok, I admit it. In 1976 I put a very rude 4-letter word in the berth for Platform 4 at Charing Cross. Only back-row people could put all the alphas in a berth. The panel signalman hooted with laughter - we were having a wind-up at the time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted May 28, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 28, 2018 Work? Mike. Yes. But invisible to the paying public. This was mid-morning, when the box was cruising, unlike the morning peak when everyone would be at full concentration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
