    One preserved set (458 set, I think) is in use on the Downpatrick and County Down Railway.

    GSWR 36 is still in existence, in the entrance lobby of Kent Station, Cork.

    Shell Mex and BP?

    My first flight was rear facing in a Trident to LHR. The front row faced backwards. Great fun for 14 year old me!

    No. 7 is definitely GNRI. Most likely an A or AL class. The roof in the right background was unique to the concrete roundhouses at Portadown and Clones.

    621 ZO (CIE D621) was an AN68 Atlantean with Van Hool McArdle bodywork. Originally based at Clontarf depot and used on my local bus route.

    RSS M1800 was later purchased by NIR, re-gauged to 5ft 3in and renumbered to 546.

    Alexandra Road is still in regular weekday use for the Tara Mines ore trains, 2-3 each way per day. These are the brown bogie tipplers in the pictures above.

    Definitely T&D. 4 of the locos were used later on the Cavan & Leitrim Railway.

    AN Other was used as a filler if one of the regular players was doubtful to start.

    A.N. Other had a remarkable career in Irish rugby judging by how many early team sheets he gets mentioned in. Surprisingly, he never scored.

    +1 for Wembley Central. When someone decides to build a shopping center where once there was no more than a bridge it’s doomed to failure. See the medeieval London Bridge for example.

    You’re right, I’d forgotten about 323 saloons, and the second car on lower deck is not the same as the first one on top. I must try harder, lol.
  14. 108
    First car on top and the second on the lower deck look like Mazda 323’s. Is the third one on the top deck a Mark 4 Cortina? The rest seem to be Polska Fiats. I should have recognized the 125P badge in the first photo.

    Are these not Fiat 125’s?

    As general choices of older books I can recommend: 1984 by George Orwell. A spooky vision of the distant future as written in the 1940’s. In this version of the future everybody is under constant surveillance and the media are feeding us fake news and pulp fiction as entertainment. Oops. The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy and sequels for plenty of laugh out loud moments.

    Especially today. 40th anniversary of the Betelgeuse disaster in Bantry Bay.

    Definitely 1980's.

    I've seen some cheap rebrandings but that takes the biscuit. Edited to fix spull shucker.

    This is caused by Signage now being seen as just another output from a printer. It's not that simple but big business would disagree.

    There's a similar image of a Fail To Stop Incident (probably not called that) at Dublin's Harourt Street terminus in the early 20th Century.

    Best wishes from me. Live long and prosper. P

    If it had numbers on the bow it was probably USN. Answered without resort to Google. I'm off to check my answer now. Perhaps USS New York (LPD-21)

    Snap. I've been to Brussels for a weekend. Including flying back on the last Sunday flight (usually expensive) the return price was €89. Cheaper than a trip to Cork on the train.
