G'day everyone, I'm looking for any of the above that survived beyond 1968. I've got a picture of a Midland Railway water column and water tower at Hathersage which was taken in 1973. Any other suggestions? Kind regards, Richmond Commuter!

After recent elections I no longer trust the polls. There are a lot of people out there who like Labours policies and like what they see of Jeremy Corbyn but come Thursday I suspect many of them will still vote Tory.

I don't think the East German Trabant was all that heavy so perhaps they could lift that? Cats are not the only thing that see's its tail go up when its stroked.

That's one heck of an assumption on those Labour gains, at least in my opinion.

That's hardly a startling revelation.

I concur. It does tend to be pretty accurate.

I reckon a majority of 40, maybe 45.

The problem for Ilkeston was Forest and Notts County on one side and The Rams on the other. Very difficult to compete with those two for feet on terraces.

Yes I am, and with absolutely certainty. I don't know what next weeks lottery numbers will be but I do know Mrs May will win a comfortable majority.

Perhaps they're hoping that they'll be used on the HS2 construction project, assuming that they get the contract.

I dare say you're right. When does the new stock arrive?

Of course we don't know the full details but after what happened to Fabrice Muamba I would be surprised if Chinese medical facilities are better than those in the Premier League.

Now then that's very interesting! If you don't mind can I ask you how you know that the original station was staffed?

The toilet is a much more recent addition I think because for several years the signal box had been switched out except for diversions. Nevertheless many thanks for the correction; especially the windows! :)

My sister lives in Kirk Ireton and I look forward to traveling behind the Jinty in a few weeks time. Just out of interest have you acquired some more rolling stock since the L & Y loco ran a few years a go? I only ask because the train looks longer. Happy days Neil :)

Okay fair enough but can't they just use their phone?

Just been flicking through my photo's. On the 4.8.78 47061 was in charge of the 21.50 York to Shrewsbury mail train. Sadly I didn't take a picture of the electric loco that brought the train in. Judging by the first vehicle the train was well loaded.

Three loco changes on a relatively short run. I wonder how many similar workings can beat that? I'm going with your suggestion for the ECS working, unless perhaps it was Stoke for a footex?

That is sad news. Having said that 96 is a very good age. In all honesty for some reason I thought he'd already passed away. RIP Cleggy

G'day everyone, I'm not sure how successful this thread might be but nevertheless we might learn something about each other. My phobia is deep water. I can swim but only really to save myself and hopefully my family. Deep water scares the life out of me. This is one of reasons why my wife...
