Model trains (late 70s-end of BR), real trains, real ale, Bromley FC season ticket, Norwich City exile, Hampshire CCC. Stamp collector. 80s soundtrack. Parkrunner. God that lot sounds boring but keeps me off the streets!

To access my uncle’s farm and still where they live along with my cousin and her family you have to cross the bridge over the site of Bridgerule station. It’s hardly surprising some of the small stations like this didn’t survive but the loss of routes is the real problems have now.

Yes, I think the one under the Loch Rannoch plate in my profile pic is the smaller version. Just about visible!

That does look like the large logo version of the ‘Scottie’. The original plan rail blue one was much smaller.

Electric over kettles on wheels yes (I miss old 3rd rail noises). Over diesel, no. Can’t beat a bit of English Electric thrash

I am now singing the theme tune to Henry’s Cat for the second time in two days after someone similar sounding was mentioned whilst watching the Tour de France!

Beautiful. Was the first loco I saw after a year living here in New Zealand. I was ten, it was at Gatwick on the express and it was a cop. Jan 1985

City are on a decent run. Amazing what a decent manager can do with players when they are fit to play. Saturday should be interesting, depends how much PC wants a cup runs As for Bromley amazing season. Massive game at Hayes Lane on Saturday, will take a draw.

As a commuter and enthusiast I enjoy watching people pile on to the carriages at the end of the train home when the whistle goes knowing full well it’s for the train on the next platform and that ours won’t go until the other has cleared at least one signal section meaning I get a seat further down

The one thing that irked me was the number not being centred under the name when applied! But can reasonably assume it was due to standard placing of numbers. EWS/GBRF manage(d) it, in the main!

@serailway.bsky.social it would really helpful when there is no cross platform access via the footbridge at Petts Wood that last minute platform changes don’t happen. It’s almost a 10 minute walk round the block to get over.

not taking more photos, although cost was an issue! Not getting into bashing/railtours earlier and missing stuff in the 90s Missed lines - woodhead but shut when I was 7; broad st; holborn. Lost notes from when young but have all from 1989. Must scan all the photos I have and sort the digital ones!

I must be getting old. I remember 43038 being named at the ten year mark! And again at the 40. Checking my birth certificate confirms I am indeed getting old!

No, too many other tests parents demand for their kids. Most common theme is that parents have munchausens.

Very enjoyable day. A few pints sampled at the Newcastle Tap before and after the game. It didn’t feel that cold - certainly not as cold as the parkrun near Rainham the day before!
