Bodmin also had 3 stations - not including Bodmin Road (parkway), general (now the preserved railway centre) ex GWR, North and Boscarne platform both LSWR, part of the legacy of these two companies' rivalry. Plymouth also had seperate lines for GWR, and LSWR finally joining together near Norh...

Lymington Town to Lymington Pier - less than 2 minutes with low line speed. Farnborough (main) and Farnborough North - advised to walk betweeen the two. Liskeard - Coombe Junction - it was reckoned that if you missed the train, you could run downhill and catch it at Coombe. Exeter Central &...

the whole point of diverting the Pines Express from the S&D was the desire to deselise the service, as the S&D would need upgrade to the infrastructure to cope with diesel traction, the money was not spent and the Pines was diverted. Without the Pines express the S&D was then for the chop under...

can I add that the furthest South West railway (GB) was the now closed quarry system at Newlyn Cornwall, Ruston diesel T W Lewis has passed into preservation on the Leighton Buzzard line, was the only steam locomotive Penlee preserved - spent many years on a plinth at the quarry. The railway...

we seem to be getting away from the station, but no wonder Lymington is becoming a grey haired town, by encouraging outsiders to retire there and forcing locals out. Agriculture is important in this area, and it is not a question of regulations. Ms Sandy Tolmay is disliked by members of her...

Disagree. 1. High house prices force out local people who cannot afford to get on the housing ladder and in many cases work within the Forest. One area has already been featured in national news because lower paid workers such as nurses just can't afford to live there anymore What has...

Of course! Perhaps someone could come up with a good name that is oh so close to the original - with apologies to their daily publication, how about Nudes of the World Will this Sundays edition become a collectors item on eBay, the only newspaper with no advertising --- old post above --- ---...

This article is not entirely correct. The Argos issue was started by one woman who no longer trades in Lymington, she suggested that it would be better sitauted in neighbouring Pennington, thereby starting a storm of protest. Sure there are some snobs in the town, but it is not all like that...

there appear to be several threads on this subject, two have been closed, Lymington Times has an article to say that Faletto has asked for the case to be taken to a tribunal. Papers have been lodged, a date for the hearing will be the next development --- old post above --- --- new post below...

I know two other threads on this subject have been closed, todays Lymington Times reports that Faletto is going ahead with the tribunal, reportedly with RMT representation. Papers have been lodged, the next step is for the date to be announced, and then we will see as SWT have stated that they...

You can make something foolproof, but it's harder to make it damn fool proof. In the early days of the Tallyllyn, main line connections were added to try and make journey planning easier. It was dropped due to the number of passengers who expected to be taken to these destinations. I get...

I am reminded that in the old days of steam - mainly abroad, horse manure fed into the boiler via the injectors was the remedy for leaking tubes --- old post above --- --- new post below --- that was by the guy into necrophilia and sadism

I think that as no further developments have occurred this monththis matter has now ended

I'm sure SWT have made very, very sure that they have followed correct procedures in this case. What would happen if it WAS proven that they had acted inappropriately does not bear thinking about. The fact that they are prepared to reveal the facts behind their decision regarding his dissmissal...
