Whilst here in the South East I would like to see the planned rebuilding of the Kent & East Sussex Railway (sorry- Rother Valley Railway ) line between Robertsbridge and Bodiam and the proposed rebuilding of the Horsted Keynes-Ardingly-Haywards Heath my biggest fear is the shortage of manpower...

There is no risk to your job if you work on a heritage railway...!! There are many readers of this forum who work on both the main line and a heritage railway.. The only consideration is the shift patterns of working hours. For example working if your paid employment states that you cannot...

Seconded for Raynes Park....!

When loco hauled trains reached terminal stations (for example London) then locos did not necessarily have to run round because in many cases crossovers or run round loops were abolished long ago. Train services used a "turnover" loco which operated thus.... A loco hauled train would arrive...

Sorry for the delay as I have been out all day. I should have declared open floor.

I travelled on it twice- once on a Channel Islands Boat train and once on a railtour. The line is now closed but the track is still in situ. Parked cars often blocked the track but were either manhandled out of the way by rail staff or towed away by the Police.

As the most dangerous approaches to stations can I add two now closed stations... Ilfracombe.. Approached at the end of a long 1 in 37 downward hill. Folkestone Harbour.. Similar to Ilfracombe. Approached at the end of a mile long down hill section of about 1 in 37. Just before the station...

Another guess- Bentley (Hants) If correct then open floor

In the past I have seen many unusual units at Chart Leacon Depot, Ashford so nothing surprises me in that area. The roof valancing is similar to South Eastern Railway.

I cannot confirm so this is a "guess-estimate..!" I think it is Charing in Kent..... ..........with the really excellent booking hall maintained by Mr.Cook but maybe not because it looks like a South West trains notice board on the left

Several years ago I got a managed to get privilege return from Heysham to Douglas on the ferry service. Please apply through your travel facilities provider.

Highgate Platform an unadvertised short platform used by schoolchildren on one train each way although it may have closed before the line closed

Done that..! Redhill station is a cold windy desolate station and not the place to spend 57 minutes particularly during dark evenings. Time to warm up with a pint in the "Home Cottage" about one minute from the station. I have normally allowed plenty of time to return to the station
