Wouldn't know the date and don't have much, if anything, to say about Bracknell.  |

In my day, they used to say "Do not clean soot off the window" |

How about the Tavy Bridge between on the LSWR▸ line between St Budeaux and Bere Ferrers.
Obviously before the line was singled.

No.19 - Tay Bridge, Dundee. Class 47 approaching. Possibly early to mid-1980s?

Wouldn't know the date and don't have much, if anything, to say about Bracknell. Typical. Probably that will be the only place I know well, and might even recognise, and it comes and goes while I'm busy doing something else. As it happens, I do know when I was first there - 17th December 1976. I had come for an interview with Ferranti (remember them?), unsuccessfully. My recollections of that day are, to say the very least, a bit sketchy. I would not have been there again until nearly 20 years later - and I suspect the picture was taken in that interval. As usual, one of the subjects we talked about was what the place was like to work in and live near. My interviewer came out with the classic line (at least as far as Bracknell is concerned) "Bracknell itself is an absolute tip, but there are some quite nice places not far away". At that date it was of course all pretty new - and the station was very new indeed. Now that 1960s centre is a building site, and after "regeneration" will emerge, dousing its plumage, as "The Lexicon". I'm sure there must be some kind of pun in that name, but I'll need to find somewhere to look it up ... |

Looks more likely than my guess |

No.18 shows a Class 422 (4-Cig) unit built in 1970 on a Waterloo to Reading service.......I think ......and if that is the case then the blanked out headcode is either 36, 37, 38 or 39 depending on time of day and route that the train took between Barnes and Feltham  http://www.semgonline.com/headcodes/eheadcodes/eheadcodes01.html |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Tiverton Jn with a down Express at the Taunton end.
Specially note the fine lineside Telegraph pole route ..something that is now very rare anywhere on the old BR▸ system.
Possibly one of the longest stretches of surviving lineside telegraph pole route was in 2014 fond (and may still be) for about 20 miles on the central part of the Aberdeen to Inverness line.
