@SBarrettBar I had to do PE in navy blue knickers and a vest.
Never could clear the vaulting horse or climb the rope.
AND they force-fed me lumpy mashed potato, which I cannot eat to this day.
Traumatised.
So am definitely diplomatically immune. 😁

Station with a chunk of platform attached to the level crossing gate. It was a #whatstation, surely. Tolly Cobbold pub so East Anglia, probably Suffolk.

Really sorry to hear that Ian. What a short sighted decision, what’s happened to promoting public transport in Norfolk 🙄

Today was my last day in this horrendous edifice of County Hall Norwich governed by the blue party - redundant after 25 years! Does anybody have any need for a Community Rail Officer or Sustainable Travel Plans Officer?

I've finally tried out visiting @YSPsculpture via train to Darton and then walking. I'm pleased to say it works. The path was a bit muddy and you have to cross a busy main road. But from Sheffield city centre to The Weston at YSP it took just over an hour

I'm very pleased to announced that Paul Childs, or @spheroview as he's better known here, has joined the @RailwayHeritage Advisory Panel. Paul is a former RHT Company Secretary & takes many of our best photos, exemplified by this from a recent assignment at Eynsford, Kent.

As it is now darker earlier in the evenings it is harder for drivers to spot passengers waiting at unlit, rural stops. For safety please use the light from a mobile phone or wear reflective clothing to attract the attention of the driver, thank you #BeSafeBeSeen 🌙 🔦 👀

We can confidently rule out the GER at #whatstation 698. Robert thought New Brighton but neither the canopy structure nor the tower in the background match (the N Brighton tower is a church spire). Can anyone identify this station, please?
Do feel free to keep trying with #697!

What a wonderful example of what you can do with a derelict station - @RidgmontStation Heritage Centre. Museum, tea rooms, shop and tourist info!! A grant awarded from us over 10 years ago and still going strong. And another grant in the pipeline. @marstonvalecrp @CommunityRail

Thanks for bringing back happy memories of my time in Barra. Unequalled view from the bus stop in Castlebay 😀
