Where is everyone Well - my nearest station at the moment is Waterbeach Seem to of have Disowned the Filton bank. I Am still waiting to travel down to see it. Waiting for Bristol parkway to be electrified.
Posts here and elsewhere ebb and flow in sync with significant things going on or not and we're now in the wind down towards Christmas. Rail and public transport meetings are fewer for a few weeks ... train cancellations seem to be down. Campaign for 6 tracks on Filton Bank not due to start until February  I'm not all that far away from you, I'm in Huntingdon. |

Afternoon everyone, First time post here. It's really warms my heart to see the UFM and DFM lines reinstated from Lockleaze, and of course the former Up and Down Reliefs from Lockleaze north. I travelled over what was then the DFM on its' last day of use, back in February 1984. Here's my shot of the old B152 signal on that final evening. Note that it had three Feathers, compared to the new version. https://www.flickr.com/photos/bristol-re/4938596167/in/photolist-8wpAzMVery Best Wishes, Bob. According to a plan I just found, Signal B252 Had a pos 1 - 2 JI on, And B152 Had pos 1 and 4 Indicators on, plus a stencil indicator with a letter D for dr days siding. Also the signal from the curve B431 also had a pos 1 indicator, very interesting isn't it. B152 is visible in this shot of mine, when track recovery was underway - https://www.flickr.com/photos/bristol-re/12089707425/in/photolist-nVyXbN-nvb1wg-k2jpgF-k2k5Ce-jqmSwN-jqjUPt-gH6a8Y-gtu9ZG-ej2Zsb-edC53B-ed5Ebo-eaHEdc-eawcdE-cgYNyd-cfGKbU-bUksyP-aAeYFS-6QXbpB-6R2ech-Cy62xZ-kUtp5V-CyFZC3-kUxXaX-ntAtFiHere's B252 - https://www.flickr.com/photos/bristol-re/14152453915/in/photolist-nyB2u8-nyiezT-nh69S3-nh5NMA-nyjpPj-nyeMZv-nh1X2C-nydaPX-nAgFjT-nfZLPG-nxtwib-nx8rNs-nfTFDf-nyYkKT-nfGmbg-nezDEK-nezmo3-nexZFc-nexFjT-nuKE1F-nsXn4p-nuHLZe-nsZ2JN-nbs3ys-njKgBb-njKuzK-njz7Yu-niJYqL-kZHZDK-kZHsvp-kWAV57-kWzZFc-kRRfhs-kzyrwv-nhEb6C-njGgm9-nmq3jB-njmGnQ-ngJAjA-nkvVne-ngDzX3-nkek22-ndp1XP-ndmfpg-ndmfwv-86pgVN-nbiQRY-86pgRY-86m6Uz-kWzZwKVery Best Wishes, Bob. |

Thanks for the pictures there, it showed signal no BL1815 With its pos 1 2 3 indicators on and another on the filton down when it was previously there,One thing why was the filton lines removed, only to cost NR» loads of money to put back, there is so much waste in this country.Not to mention the contents of a bin bag in my kitchen full of unnessary packaging. The Up and Down Filton Mains were supposedly closed due to the weak condition of the former bridge over Stapleton Road, which for several years, had a permanent speed restriction over it. |

Thanks for those pics Bob, and looking thru the others on your photostream you've linked to there's also some other great ones around BRI» and LWH from the 70s and early 80s as it was then. Great to see! Thank you very much, Sir. I have a great many more negs to scan, sadly though in most cases I won't have full information, as my notebooks and prints went several years ago  . |
