A memorial in Berlin. Trains to Life, Trains to Death. The children at one end, with an intact suitcase, are heading for the Kindertransport and a new life in the UK. The others... You know the ending.

I am not a fan of many Christmas films, but Klaus is one I will watch with enjoyment. Their portrayal of the Sami people is wonderful. Worth a watch.

A selfish postman and a reclusive toymaker form an unlikely friendship, delivering joy to a cold, dark town that desperately needs it.

📹New Video 📹. Not only is it Railway 200 but it is 175 years since Cardiff Central opened. Today this station is the link in the middle of the South Wales Metro. So my final look at the lines that made up the Metro looks at a tiny bit of the GWR.

Glad to hear that there are no serious injuries at Shap. It is a testament to modern design that the train stayed upright and in one piece. Hope the driver is Ok as well, not good to hit a landslip!
