Should we go back to the times when you had to pay to take a cycle or dog on a train again? Just how many would be honestly willing to pay for the transportation of a cycle or dog or even a pram that didn,t fold down? Remember back in the days of old when double decker buses had a storage area...

Was there ever a coach from the Budd Car Company tested on the railways here? was thinking it would be about 60 years ago? I remember travelling in a coach from Newcastle to Edingburgh and think it might have been a prototype coach.

Totally agree with you on them been very noisy for a new class of loco, when stood in a station like York you certainly know where it is waiting. In this day and age not something you should have to put up with all the passengers waiting should get a claim in for deafness.

Goole Bridge ones was removed about 15 years ago approx. when TPWS arrived on the scene. The existing ones was well and truly life expired. So removing them took out two sets of points as no longer required and now trains stop another signal back from the bridge when it opens to river traffic.

Sealing Wax, when the booking office at Brigg station closed down there was about 10 packets of sealing wax just like the above, what it was used for I don,t Know but they was well stocked up just in case. Another item at this location was the rubber finger caps for counting the money, pity...
