I'm a wee bit slow in coming to this as the latest edition of The Southern Way, No 73, was published last week. Cracking frontispiece Gromit, Grange Road with M7 No 30053 in attendance. https://t.co/KUHES6DStu

Absolutely….

@NowtbutaLad @TheBenthamLine @railnigel Those pics are always amazing, to those who know the area now. Total tranformation.

After this performance the band did an interview saying this was the best performance they have ever done. Just this song. Everyone was on cue. Perfect. Not a note missed by anyone. Pitch. Tone. Timing. All perfect. They said they never performed this good ever before. And you can clearly tell.❤️🎶

Neville Hill A1 60154 Bon Accord looks well on shed following a recent visit to Darlington works in 1963. Unknown photographer.

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

Blimey!

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

This contraption from a hundred years ago would be neat to have today.

The now long gone #Lancaster Green Ayre station looking towards the city centre. It closed to passengers in 1966 and was demolished in 1976 when the track was also removed [pic Alice Mulvany]. @TheBenthamLine @railnigel #Railways #Lancashire

Isn’t it!!

Priceless!

That priceless moment when you can tell how much P:osh Spice loves football 🤣🤣

[Nami 💙🤍 @SteelCityDog_]

Righto, back to the more positive stuff eh?

How about this one from Wednesday? A #SignalboxSunday feature on the curious signalbox at Knaresborough. It's built into the row of houses it adjoins!

It's a pretty line the Harrogate Loop, I'm glad I've been able to have a snoop!

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

Snork…!

[RS Archer @archer_rs]

People are often critical of Victoria Beckham but to see this outpouring of emotion here from her as England scores a goal shows her deep connection with both football and the team.

Clarkson made exactly the same point in his Farm programme last series

Been visiting friends this week, three hour drive each way, mostly Motorway.

Looked at the car windscreen this am and only 8 dead insects.

A few years ago the windscreen would have been plastered.

Where have all the insects gone?

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

A bit rough around the edges - but great fun!

Almost 40 years ago and they still have beautiful chemistry. For 3 minutes the world stops and we revisit the 1970s in this video. Bless them both.

@gceccles
Here he is again as backing singer! I love how this lot are ego-free and all happily sing back up. Good on Nikki for standing aside for that guitar break.

You're Still the One | Sing it Live is back with a Shania Twain cover!

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

That’s exactly how I remember it. How very curious it was so widespread!

[greyhounddad @dadofgreyhounds]

@railnigel When I was young (1960s), that it was for the lower orders was the common view of ITV and people made a point of saying they didn't watch it.

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

Absolutely. He is also an astonishingly talented guitarist too who often does backing vocals. The talent Darren M pulls together in that basement is awesome.

[Graham Eccles FCIRO @gceccles]

@railnigel @YouTube Good find Nigel. What a voice!

[Nigel Harris @railnigel]

Another stunning cove from SIL.
