I have this picture from my father's collection. It shows a train with LNER A1 (Knight of the Thistle I think) with a Flying Scotsman headboard and a platform on the off side. Two questions: Where is it? Leuchars has an island platform but the wooded hills in the background don't look...

These three pictures of Southern Railway locomotives show 30772 (BR number) with British Railways on the tender, and 423 and 791 (Southern numbers) with Southern on the tenders. The pictures were printed in the same batch, so probably taken at the same time. The photographer had in-laws in...

From today's Scotsman: I suspect the Scotsman has garbled this a bit (it happens). Perhaps the new 'long-length' platforms are the same as the reinstated 5 and 6.

Scene: Blackpool North I was standing on the platform in the fresh air, next to a train leaving in 10 minutes. Northern staff member: are you all right; where are you travelling to. Me: Preston Him: It's that train. Me: Yes I know. Him: You'll need to board. There's not to be...
