Passing through #Guildford, 180 years +1 week since it opened! Good to see the #Railway200 timeline installed by @southeastcrp.bsky.social, & where 1 of the incidents in our blog about Guildford's railway staff occurred! @communityrail.bsky.social www.railwayaccidents.port.ac.uk/guildford-18...
Timeline, showing railway track running left to right, with key events and images shown, indicated by a railway semaphore signal arm.Railway tracks leading from station platforms, with multiple lines converging on 2 tracks entering a tunnel in the distance. A road bridge runs across the view not far from the platform ends. A brick-built multistorey carpark sits to the right of the tunnel, on the site of the old engine sheds. Cloudy grey sky above.
