I wonder how long it will take the 'parents' of Mummy's little darlings to discover the GoFundMe donations and see their way to getting some "compensation" from the families of the officers for the 'tragic and undeserved' taking of their precious little angels????

I suspect it was part of the scheme plan for the BML (Brighton MainLine) resignalling in the mid 80s and would have come out of use when Brighton, Top Yard, Preston Park and Hassocks boxes were decommisioned and control passed to Three Bridges 'A' box (I know some of the staff there like to...

Big Jumby 74. If you have any info related to Friday 11-02-83 I would be interested to know. I have some known workings from a bashers group on facebook, along with photographic evidence of 33211 working the 08:40 Hoo Junction to Woking Down Yard (Keeps it on topic for Woking...) with a VEP...
