nice link thx for that

having being bought up on southern Region I understood the danger of third rail by about 7 years old

There were definitly problems at Hanley station with the curve radius and as I recall larger locos and Mk 1`s were barred from normal use, however it was used for diversions when the mainline was closed so not to bad I guess,

Having followed a lot of the "rants" on the subject of gantries I really fail to see the problem unless you would prefer a smoky steam train of course with the smoke and smuts on washing or of course you could have the 8 lane motorway if you prefer. Its progress and has to be better than diesels...

Before they closed the loop line in the 60`s the potteries had a great local system very short sighted closing it

might have been only saw it out of pub window and camera was in car

Network rail Class 43 and a class 67 with the 43 leading passing Longton on the Derby Stoke line. On their way to Crewe I guess, just odd to see a single 43 coupled with a 67. No camera damn it.

Footbridge is intresting why no disabled acess from platform to platform, looking on Google Earth parking on south side only.
