  2. Aylesford - on Northern half of the Medway Valley line, station building http://www.kentrail.org.uk/Aylesford.htm link to pictures and info
  3. Queen of my heart - New Model Army
  4. Hastings - where we used to love to go to play the slotties! Now we go becaue my eldest loves crazy golf!
  5. I guess I'll have to go back to spending more time doing work!! Thanks very much for sharing all of these photos of a world that is before my time; it strikes me that they pick up wide cross-section of railway life - and not just the big expresses - and this is what makes this thread so good. Look forward to the Northumberland pictures - it's one of my favourite parts of the country and those old branches that wandered the country are long lost.
  6. Nine Mile Point - on the Sirhowy Valley, near Wattstown. My Grandma grew up there!
  7. Pretty in Pink - The Psychedelic Furs
  8. Woolwich - home of the arsenal
  9. Me Myself I - Joan Armour Plating
  10. Hawkhurst - terminus of a branch from Paddock Wood (closed 1961)
  11. Yardley Hastings - small village in Northants
  12. The Back of Love - Echo and the Bunnymen
  13. Over the hills and far away - The Mission
  14. Thanks to Armchair Modeller and P D & SWJR for the Nottingham-Northampton route. My attempts to follow dismantled railways on the current OS / Street Maps was flawed because I foolishly assumed that the lines connected at Melton!
  15. Thanks - and thece to Syston I presume, and then Leicester, Mkt Har? Although I lived in Northampton for 10 years most of the lines in the area had long been taken up and with it a myriad cross country services
  16. I'm interested by the references to Nottingham Victoria to Northampton trains (7302 et al). What route did these run by? If I understand things correctly Nottingham Victoria is a Great Central line station. Did the trains make their way from there on to the MML and via Market Harborough and on to Castle Station - or did they take another route off the GC later? The services are clearly LMR motive power.
  17. The Whole of the Moon - the Waterboys
  18. The Same Deep Water As you - The Cure
  19. Nettlestead - village/hamlet in Kent, near Paddock Wood and East peckham
  20. Well that's it, SAF has announced his retirement (BBC website this lunchtime)
  21. Today is a Good Day - New Model Army
  22. SEMG online has the following in the H1/H2 section: http://www.semgonline.com/steam/h1-h2_02.html which would seem to show more than a static trial. The same photo also appears in the Leader section: http://www.semgonline.com/steam/leader_02.html with the added note that Hartland Point performed succesfully at speeds up to 80 mph
