    I always thought of Lewes as a destination for commuters returning home from London, but of course those who work in Lewes have homes to go to as well! More from the twilight zone please.

    This is group of memorials is closer to home for many enthusiasts. It recalls some of those who gave their time and efforts to the Kent and East Sussex Railway. It is between the platform and the level crossing at Northiam. Click on the images to see the inscriptions enlarged.

    These two war memorials are in the Steam museum, along with several more. It is interesting and heart warming that they all seem to have been erected by their fellow workmates, rather than by the company. Although not a railway memorial, but as the subject has been mentioned, the huge Russian losses - 27 million - are remembered in this memorial in the grounds of the Imperial War Museum.

    These two were photographed from a train on the other side of Haywards Heath station - hence some reflections. I regret that I wasn't able to stop, the following week, to photograph the front coach of a new Thameslink 70,0 which was parked at Hove station with a very liberal coating of graffiti.

    Having come across a couple of my photos of wagons with masses of graffiti on, could this be a rather unsightly next challenge? There is I suppose the chance that someone will want to paint their stock with a modern version of weathering and that could inspire them.

    This tidal creek fills from Newhaven Harbour, It used to serve the tidemills, by filling the ponds upstream, which then drained out as the tide went out, turning the millwheels.

    I am fairly sure that this is Dawlish.

    There are a couple of photos of 82044 in Dad's albums - this one passing through Highbridge (B&E) http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/84892-br-262t-82044-highbridge-early-1963/ and this one at Wells http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/75411-cw07-82044-at-wells-on-14th-march-1960/

    It's a repair station, which appears to have tools available, secured by steel cables. It is unlikely that anyone will nick your bike while you are changing a tyre or adjusting the gear. Perhaps you Sydney types are too suspicious of Brisbane folks.

    I get the impression that locos were sometimes just parked on the wharf towards the end of the S&D and certainly Dad has no photos of 2Ps working the Somerset Central line. There are also none on that line in the Newman Family website http://www.newman-family-tree.net/s&d/index.html, although they were a favorite class of Chris Newman.

    In real life - a slightly different pair but the same location (I guess) in 1961 I still haven't got my wharf sidings and buildings going. Too much going on family-wise! http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/index.php?/gallery/image/76386-bh04-4-4-0-2p-40563-0-6-0-3f-43216-ex-sd-no-72-at-highbridge-wharf-9-9-61/

    Only a bit of this HST with Plymouth Ocean City vinyl - but Reading is so cluttered with OLE masts it was a pain snapping there. I don't know whether there were more HSTs with this advert.

    Perhaps poor timing when there are snow flakes drifting past the window, but I just came across this, while looking for something else - as usual.

    While we are into 'character' names! Here's Loopy Loo at Siemen's Northam Depot in 2005 Keep going on similar lines

    I was was wondering where I had seen stripey chimneys before and seemed to remember some London County Council Estates had them. I had a look around online and came across this example which also has round corner towers, albeit without the conical caps.. http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-boundary-street-estate-london-england-4960219.html

    I find it looks a bit odd, GWR sponsoring the weather forecasts in the South East region.

    Watch out for cyber-attacks on your digital control units. Your coach lighting may come on in daylight and your new Andrew Barclay tanks will sound like Deltics. HSTs will crawl along while 08s will zoom round at 125mph - oh! that happens already.

    You should have used a Kraft knife!

    In a square near Tower Bridge - photographed in January 2006 - I now see that they have had their verdigris scrubbed off.

    Talking of Smart cars, I saw this neat parking arrangement while sitting on a train at Guildford. I have seen a couple parked at right-angles to the kerb. Both were on fairly wide roads.

    Well it is a lineside industrial scene!
