RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks David, I have had a quick squint and can see no glaring omissions and one or two I didn't know about or had forgotten. SS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2014 Link works David but I can't find within it who to contact to update their list (Henley-On-Thames is missing, how peculiar) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I get to the site but no list displayed (button works ok and takes me to new page all right but nothing is listed in the columns). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Prism Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Link works David but I can't find within it who to contact to update their list (Henley-On-Thames is missing, how peculiar) Presumably webmaster@broadgauge.org.uk ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted July 3, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted July 3, 2014 Presumably webmaster@broadgauge.org.uk ? I did wonder about that but he appears to be more concerned with keeping the site operational than dealing with detail queries, but maybe he does the lot?

buffalo Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I get to the site but no list displayed (button works ok and takes me to new page all right but nothing is listed in the columns). As with the parts/kits and publications lists/search pages, the table is made with jscript Javascript libraries. Presumably webmaster@broadgauge.org.uk ? Yes, there was a note in the January 'News Sheet' by Rob Speare appealing for information saying that information could be forwarded via the webmaster address.

David Bigcheeseplant Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 I have looked at the list a few times, and only noticed Henley was missing this morning, I have sent a email to Rob so it will get updated in due course. The list is only as good at the information supplied so hopefully additions and corrections can be added, although I think there is getting on to 100 trainsheds. As far as I am aware there is no books, magazine articles or websites that has ever listed all the GWR trainsheds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Bigcheeseplant Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 Henley on Thames now added to the list, It seems in the majority of cases a trainshed was provided originally at the terminus of a line. hopefully we may see a few more models of stations with trainsheds other than the Ashburton example.

David Bigcheeseplant Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's another one or should that be two added to the list, have you any dates on construction or demolition of the train sheds? David Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 12, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 12, 2014 That's another one or should that be two added to the list, have you any dates on construction or demolition of the train sheds? David David I have just done a quick google for North Road, the station was opened in 1877, altered in 1908 and started to be re-built in 1938. This info from wiki. The wiki info on Totnes mentions the train sheds but the only dates are for the station being when opened as a temporary terminus when the line opened and turned into a through station when the line opened to Laira. Sorry I have no further info. I was looking for a picture I had seen of private owner wagons at Laira in 1925. The picture was not in that book, but the photo's seen were.

RMweb Premium Siberian Snooper Posted July 13, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 13, 2014 Further to yesterdays reply, there were two train sheds at North Road and were built in 1908. There are several photo's in The Great Western in South Devon, Keith Beck and John Copsey, Wild Swan ISBN 0 906867 90 8 pages 64 and 69. SS Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
