  1. Just watched 'To the Manor Born' on the Yesterday channel and noticed that at a scene at the local station the TV channel had blurred out an old Jimmy Saville British Rail poster!

      I noticed that too...I put it down to watching on an Android TV box here in Canada. Didn't think about that it might be one of his posters.

      Abhorrent though he was, that kind of thing smacks very much indeed of the way history and events were re-written in Orwell's '1984'. Hitler did far, far worse, yet you see his image on TV everywhere, in films and documentaries etc. Are we not grown up enough to put all that in context for ourselves?

      North Korea regularly airbrush people out of pics when they've fallen out of favour....

  2. Nice to see a Class 50 at Bristol Parkway yesterday evening. 'Rodney' in the company of 56303 on its way for an overhaul hopefully. It looked in need of some much needed care and attention.

      Shouldn't there be another plaque showing a pair of wellies and a n electric guitar, plus a photo of John Redrup? #deadringers

  6. 20 minutes at York. Class 56 in Holgate Sidings, Class 47 running through with a 2 coach Pullman rake and a pair of 20s in the loco sidings. Happy memories of 1986. :)
