Went on the Medway Valley Line yesterday, for a nice little day out. The PAddock Wood end of the line is quite recomended for a little jolly out.

Here's the snaps - which include lots of station shots.

Nice one Jim.

CANBER▸ (Campaign Against the New Beeching Report) is quite interested in this line, as the SRA» (Strategic Rail Authority - about) proposed the closure of Beltring station. However, the DfT» (Department for Transport - about) have since informed me that this will not be taken forward for now.

Here's another "not local" ... perhaps we should have a travels section!

That would have been good,m based on Jim's comment, wouldn't it?  But not quite the correct station.  Here's Canning Town:

Looks like Custom House, the platforms being part of the North London Line's disused North Woolwich Branch.

Well done Jim I think your contributions and the other members who post topics not related to FGW▸ (First Great Western) directly are of great interest to the members of the forum that share a  general interest in the rail way world , I for one who have always been connected to the railways in one way or another have found the forum a very good source of information and have discovered many things that  have always intrigued  me for
years and that the suggestion by Grahame that an addition travel section is a very good one because of the vast source of information shown in the forum generally could not fail to make it a success.

We're glad you like it, BRADNOCK  Grin

I agree with what you are saying, its the contributions of members (on whatever topic) that make the forum what it is.
