@FWHLines 4 pictures I took there on my July 1973 visit

@JoeBrownLondon Very evocative! And here it is in June 2021, with an ex-LU D-stock Class 230 on the branch to Long Marston, having just been converted to diesel-battery hybrid operation for TfW, and now on the Wrexham-Bidstone line

@DavidGHFrost You're both missing a key point, namely that public transport is a special case. The key benefits of an integrated network can only be achieved though control by the public sector (see the reply re bus journey trends in and outside London to illustrate).

@cutiieepie6 Helping with trip planning!

@TransportPS Love the gas light! And on a similarly pleasant day 2 months later (May 69) here is a DMU together with a gas light at Charlbury on the Oxford to Worcester line.

@christiancalgie The Llangollen Railway have done something similar at Corwen, which opened a couple of years ago

@robprogressive If you're going to post this stuff at least get your sums right. A 321% rise in £4 is £21.05.

@XT7412 @YesterdaysBrit1 Well this might interest you then. The section from about 7 to 8 mins in was filmed near Carlisle on that line - it passes through Wetheral station

@XT7412 @YesterdaysBrit1 Not a Pacer - older than that! It's a lovely old Diesel Multiple Unit which were found throughout the country and you could sit behind the driver with a great view out of the front.

@AndyBTravels @Interrail 1974
First stop (sort of) Narvik!

@gilescoren Thanks for the reply. Yep I know exactly what you mean. Would probably have done the same myself.

@Gaugemaster Here's 67007 on the Caledonian Sleeper at Upper Tyndrum in 2007. Bit scruffier back then!

[Richard dSC @Richard_dsc]

@miles_chains Well fancy that. I took a picture from that exact position - in July 1973!
