317301 prior to entering service on "Bedpan" services suffered serious collision damage whilst stored at Cricklewood. We hope to do a full 317301 unit feature shortly has anybody got any more gen on the collision, also phots of 317301 or 501 as she is today? Did 317301 ever work on the Midland once Wolverton rebuilt the damaged vehicle?Quainton Road, Nov 88
Sadly 25057’s stay at Quainton was a short one, heres a rare view of this steam heat beastie shortly after arriving in rural BuckinghamshireEuston, 271286
Doesn’t seem like 23 years ago that large fish gave Euston a bit of class and noise! 81009 rests after working a 1500 Carlisle-Euston Xmas relief serviceGen Snippets…
As mentioned above the return of the 377’s has brought some minor 321 diagram changes. Details to follow.
A new mail service has started, gen on our freight timetable
A film crew were reported as viewed in the Grovebury Rd/Billington Rd area last week..Whats odd is that a featureless levelled field of old rail spoil can interest anyone…..Now some claim the "Doric Arch" should be rebuilt at Euston, tho more ticket office windows might be more useful. The Doric Arch demolished in the 60’s lies in bits possibly in Lidlington, Watford West or indeed our own Billington Road area railway tips…
