Not 'pop' culture and only toy trains, but in Obsession with Robert Newton 1949, a model railway plays a significant part !

92167 ended its days as a 2-8-2. Plenty of photos of it on shed, but none that I can find out on the road

Would love to join you. At least you know when your young persons railcard ends. I hope my senior railcard is open ended...........:D

Sunderland? Would it be classed as actually being in a tunnel? If not, there's one a few yards from it :D

The late, lamented Kevin Ayres and this.... https://youtu.be/CnzZZVkFBEk

I was there on the last day travelling from Harrow on the Hill to Brackley and then back to Marylebone. Had spent the previous couple of years travelling Harrow to Marylebone every Saturday (half single 1/3 in old money) on the 11.15 from Nottingham Victoria. Back to South Kenton on the Bakerloo...

There's a loop on the up side all the way from Hartlepool to Seaton still connected, but obviously never been used for years, overgrown with bushes and trees, yet it received colour lighting when the coast line was resignalled about 5 years ago.

Comparing the Durham coast now to what it was is quite amazing. Between Hartlepool and Seaham, where there were once many collieries, NCB railways, overhead waste tipping lines (Get Carter) and associated equipment, there is now a pleasant view of the North Sea. Look inland though and there is...

Been on the Durham coast today and while parts of the the scenery are quite spectacular between Hartlepool and Seaham, the ride is certainly not !!!!!:-x

Can't understand why Virgin have chosen to sponser a team that plays in Bishop Auckland :wink:

So, here's me going to Hartlepool for the match, as every home game, but today a coupled up pacer and sprinter turned up. Now every Saturday, the normal 2 car Pacer or Sprinter is pretty full, and at Hartlepool the crowds of hen/stag types get on for Newcastle. There were even RPI's at...

Oh that the Liverpool Overhead was still there to run their specials to Aintree !:D

If only, she looks really impressive:evil:

Sick of saying it on several other similar type threads, but Hartlepool.......what a lack of foresight when the up platform was taken out of use. Quite a bottleneck now.:evil:

Not wanting to be antagonistic..............but what would happen if a 'comfort' break was not available to a member of a train crew? Would the service be cancelled?

The Amazon warehouse in Sheffield is right next to the line to Meadowhall, but no chance of a rail connection:cry:
