    The railways have always done it. Look at the number of stations that were called something "Road", when in fact they were nowhere near the place they were supposed to serve Dent station is four miles from the village itself. I`m sure there are many more examples.

    In C2949, there appear to be two catering vehicles. That would suggest an ECML express, possibly a class 47 covering a Deltic diagram.

    Try the WIGANWORLD website. There are plenty of old photos of Wallgate Station, both platform and street level. Try also searching for photos of buses, many routes passed the station.

    Try " Stations nad structures of the Settle and Carlisle Railway" by G. K. Fox and V. R. Anderson. Published in 1986 I have just had a quick look on Amazon, it is still available. I think it has also been reprinted as a paperback.

    50012 "Benbow" went to Buxton on the "Derbyshire Dingle" railtour in February 1986. It was still in large logo livery at the time. But in March 1994, 33116 "Hertfordshire Railtours" visited Buxton with an Inspection Saloon which was in NSE livery, the 33 was blue. The saloon was an ex Hastings DEMU vehicle, which I think still exists as "Caroline", and is still in use. I`m sure there must have been other railtours to the Buxton area. Photos of locos in NSE livery around there seem to be rather thin on the ground.

    Wasn`t it the guards job to change the lenses in the side lamps, depending on which line the train was running? A train, such as that in the photo, would have three red lights, two side and one tail. If the train were signalled onto the slow line or into a goods loop, then the guard would remove the red shade from the lamp adjacent to the fast or main line. If the side lamps were carreied at the front of the van, they may not be fully visible to a train approaching from the rear, such as on right hand curves?

    That side lamp is on the leading end of the brake van, it should be at the rear.

    56132 is in two tone grey livery, with coal sector markings. Sectorisation era livery.

    What about Maigret, with Rowan Atkinson in the lead role. It seems a little strange to see him in a straight role, but he was brilliant.

    I noticed the reference to the Andrew Lewis, who had been murdered having a single relative. A young lad called Robert, lives in the north east, training to be a copper. Ring any bells?

    40019 was probably only vacuum braked, so wouldn`t be compatible with the air braked EMU.
