About highpeakman

Profile Information

  • Location
    Close to the GN & GE Joint Rly north of Lincoln.
  • Interests
    Very broad interests but perhaps focused more on BR Midland - Derbyshire, Notts and Lincs areas in late 50s/60s - Wirksworth, Buxton, Cromford & High Peak in particular - Also GC Main Line around Nottingham + any Industrial railways (NG and Standard). Old enough to remember C&HP in working order, Trent Junction Station, Derby Works in full flow, Windcutters at Nottm Victoria, prototype Deltic at Grantham and a few other things I miss.A believer in modelling to capture the feeling/atmosphere of the time/prototype even if some details are not correct and of the right to run what I like.

    Those nice people at Notts Police have kindly sent me an invitation to go to one of their Speed Awareness Courses. Oh well, could have been worse I suppose. (For clarification I was not caught in a residential area. 60 in a 50 limit on a straight and clear B road in the countryside). Guilty, no argument, but question is why we can't get them to put speed trap in our village from time to time.

      At least you were offered the course instead of points being added.

      Actually one of the few things I learned on the Speed Awareness Course was just how dangerous rural roads are. Less accidents, BUT time taken to get to hospital is the biggest factor in deaths from serious accidents on the road

      I'm a careful driver, I always slow down for the speed cameras!
