20 years ago this was the artists impression of a train, but which one?

No river there I'm afraid, just a dual carriageway built in 1972.

Railway quiz #2. Why would this be on a train?

Railway quiz. Where's this?

Used to catch that train between Peterborough and Harwich 'back in the day'!

Half a century ago when I worked at @lner.co.uk @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @delticpd.bsky.social @delticman.bsky.social

Brilliant tautology.

Baby Deltic about to be turned into razor blades :-(

60 years ago today I was at 50A - York Steam depot by a V2. 43 years later I was firing Sir Lamiel at York and then other locos as well. !

Discuss.

MKC, Rugby and cab riding a 373/2!

Spot the snowplough!

Anyone fancy buying a class 143 143601 ex TFW 143616 ex TFW 143619 ex GWR

Great to meet Mike of @rwldproject.bsky.social at Southampton & BBC Solent. And a reunion with @drdavest.bsky.social a former colleague from 1976. Hosted by Phil Dominey of SWR. The @railway200.bsky.social Inspiration train visits @thewatercressline.bsky.social & Swanage Railways in 2026.

Remember that bus with £350m a week better off....... Bet Boris and his mates don't.

Spot on Sir.

An HST cab ride to Newquay remembered.

Four forty-severns. Why are these examples historic? @47581greateastern.bsky.social @47news.jp @locusinpes.bsky.social @paulbigland.bsky.social @railfocus.bsky.social @dariaphoebe.com @railwayheritage.bsky.social @railway200.bsky.social

@railway200.bsky.social team buried an engraved wooden box time capsule at Derby Roundhouse yesterday. Fabulous to be there to see it all. The final pic is the time capsule under glass in the turntable pit with the roof ironwork reflected.

28th November 2009 Elliot.

Happy days shovelling on these!

Finit!

Two steam stalwarts of West Coast Railway Company have been lost this month, John Daniel, joined BR in 1954 & Tommy Farr, also joined in the mid 1950s. I had the great fortune of firing to both of them in their WCR days. John on 6201 and by 44932/Tommy on 6233. @railway200.bsky.social

Happy memories! 21 Dec 2009.

Captions please.

Make no bones about this opportunity!

Wolverton Works' Ambulance trains in WW1 should be remembered for their life saving activities. Haig's train was also built there. And Dave Hilliard led a team fundraising for the WW1 Memorial to the 213 Wolverton Works men who died in WW1. @railwayheritage.bsky.social got us over the funding line.

Pleased to announce that the @railway200.bsky.social Royal Train evening in Milton Keynes is now fully booked raising now a three figure sum for the canal cruising club. Thanks to all who helped spreading the word.

I hope nobody intends using Winslow station any time soon. Possibly from May next year...... @chilternrailway.bsky.social can confirm?

Last call for the @railway200.bsky.social charity talk about The Royal Train. Held in Great Linford by the Grand Union Canal. Friday 7th November 730pm. A one hour presentation on the inside secrets of the Wolverton Royal Train. DM me via www.royaltrain.co.uk for ticket arrangements.

OK. What's special about this pic from 1977?

1st steam hauled passenger train for 58 years through Verney Jcn today. West Coast Railway crew proudly carry a @railway200.bsky.social logo to mark the historic trip. Plus the support crew who make it happen. Pix taken at the former Claydon station site as the engine took water.

In 24 hours Bob Gwynne and I will attempt an ascent of Snowdon by rail facilitated by the Snowdon Mountain Railway. Why are we doing it? To celebrate 200 years of railways at the UK's highest railway which is also the only Alpine railway we have. @railway200.bsky.social

Fiscal reality begins to dawn.

No. Possibly May next year. Disgrace.

Happy birthday EWR. A year ago today these things appeared at Platforms 7 and 8 at Bletchley High Level. @chilternrailway.bsky.social @gwr.com @railfocus.bsky.social @modernrailways.keypublishing.com @railwayexplorer.bsky.social Steam 34028 on Saturday at about 0955 heading north.
