RMweb Premium keefer Posted May 26, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Always find photos like that quite sad, where a station that's clinging on to a minimal service used to be quite grand in its heyday. Canopies unglazed, parts of the large station area derelict, lifted lines, weeds in platforms etc. The bigger they are, the sadder it seems.

Johann Marsbar Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I went there on an Eastern Rover ticket in July 1980 and took a wider view of the station, particularly as the train I was on used platform 3 . All four platforms still had track in them at that stage and the opening beyond the train is still there where those two lines continued further west to Bolton Abbey & Skipton. 12 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinza-C55 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) The north end of Durham station in 1964. A big signalbox, lattice post gantries and you can have steam locos and green diesels so there's something for everyone. Sadly the site of the former engine shed seems to have been cleared.

KeithMacdonald Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Diesels to Marlborough? This is Savernake Junction in 1964 with the station still intact, a Western on the main up line from Pewsey, and the line to Marlborough and Swindon Town on the right. 18 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinza-C55 Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 The Spurn Point Military Railway ran from Kilnsea to the Spurn Point lighthouse in East Yorkshire from 1915 to 1951. It used a ramshackle assortment of rolling stock including a petrol railcar (partly seen here) and a trolley with a sail mounted on it ! Weighing a parcel at Spurn Head Railway by moving.images2, on Flickr Some tracks are still intact where the line crossed roads. 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it was laid wholly or partly with second hand GCR track so it would be interesting to know if it has GCR chairs under there.

RMweb Premium Andy Kirkham Posted May 27, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted May 27, 2022 (edited) A few years ago "Not Jeremy" remarked that one of my photos was rather similar to a published one by Hugh Dady. Now while working in a charity bookshoop I came across the book in question - Diesels on the Western Region. Here's mine, which with the help of Mark Alden was pinned down to week ending August 29th 1970 And here's Hugh's dated exactly August 29th 1970 Detail similarities include the degree to which the window of the leading coach is open and the way in which the trailing grille is tilted open. The obvious difference is the position of the loco relative to the station nameboard, but it could be that Hugh's picture was taken with the loco stationary (I can't see any crew inside) whereas mine might have been taken just after it had started. Are both photographs taken on the same occasion? Edited May 27, 2022 by Andy Kirkham 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your photo the driver's side window has been opened a bit more, and it looks like his head looking out and back, as he might when drawing away. Also some exhaust smoke visible. Looks as though your surmise is right. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeithMacdonald Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) Teignmouth Station Maybe it's my fading memory, but I don't remember the station being so colourful in the 1960s. Or have they restored an original GWR colour scheme? https://www.flickr.com/photos/127014210@N07/30741885235/in/pool-teignmouthandshaldononly Edited May 29, 2022 by KeithMacdonald typo 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithMacdonald Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 Milk Traffic from Chard Junction The first few photos on the CRS page show nice shiny-new milk tank wagons http://www.cornwallrailwaysociety.org.uk/chard-juntion.html Quote during the summer of 1981 Chard Junction Creamery was host to freight movements unseen for several years, as two rakes of milk tanks, refurbished through some sort of EEC funding, carried surplus milk from the Milk Marketing Board creamery, to a similar plant at Stowmarket in Suffolk. Thanks to Paul Bartlett for his pics of that type of rebuilt milk tanks. https://paulbartlett.zenfolio.com/mmbmilk But that was after a special rebuild, clean-up and a repaint in MMB livery . This is what they looked like (some time earlier) ... and a bit muckier... 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
