The L.C.G.B. Bridport Belle tour on the 22nd of January 1967 had a couple or more surprise events as detailed here,https://www.sixbellsjunction.co.uk/60s/670122lc.html

Witley (Surrey) was originally Witley and Chiddingfold. Then Witley for Chiddingfold and then plain Witley! But it is to be noted that the station is in Wormley and also serves Hambledon, Brook and, Sandhills! Take your pick!

Quality Control was not a strong point when these Class 56's where built, nor, was stock control, as parts intended for class 56's ended up being fitted to Lyd2's ( See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PKP_class_Lyd2 ) white covers for internal lighting in the cabs complete with BR'S double arrow!

Getting back to the question, where the title animations, remade with the switch from Black and White to colour?

True the G.C.R. did at one time host an N.S.B Class 21c 2-6-0 engine, which are more compact than most European locos and it was able to run. See https://norwegianlocomotivetrust.com/the-nsb-type-21s/

I very recently discovered that holders of the Bus pass in Wales have until December 31st to replace their existing passes (County Issue) with a Transport for Wales version! Details here, https://tfw.gov.wales/travelcards Aslo, the BBC had this article,which shows that there a quite a number...

Glad it all went well, for your Island trip!

25 Kilos is about the limit for lifting unassisted, I think you will find. Depending on the size and weight of the child and type of buggy, most are likely to exceed this limit! There is no way you should lift this with your back bent! I used to work at a station which has steps down to the...

You are correct, when the 38 Stock class 483 was transferred to the Island, the re railing was done at Sandown.

"Live long and prosper!", that a Vegan greeting is it not!

All I want to know, is how do we get Larry the cat on to the list!

Travel at the front of the train, so when it stops at the Harbour, you are near the ramp, which is on the right hand side as you past the buffer stops.

Sorry, I am a bit late in replying. These notices, where first fitted to refurbished Kent Coast 4 cep units when the work was undertaken from the late 1970's until the early 1980's. the 4 languages where, English, French, German, and a strange choice for the Channel Ports.. Cantonese (Chinese)...

If I recall correctly the use of trolleys,came about in the 1980's when the Scottish Region of British Railway needed to expand replace catering services, as it was felt that MK 1 vehicles where long in the tooth and too expensive to do! Their answer was to rip out the toilet of a B.SO. to...

One that has not come up, is that part of Hayling Islands station canopy was destroyed, which can be seen in various picture here, http://www.disused-stations.org.uk/h/hayling_island/ You might ask why was such a rural placed targeted, possibly due to the fact that there where decoy lights on...

Well the Buffets where open for most of the journey, however I think most people stocked up and brought their supplies with them, due to the prices charged in them! As to being a way of getting round the draconian licensing laws. No! But it did happen on the ffestiniog railway in the 60's, 70...

I seem to recall that some years ago, Dilton Marsh had metal platforms, which went "walkabout"! It was believed to follow a visit by members of an alternative life style group, can anyone confirm?
