The 1950s Museum, #Denbigh. An Aladdin's cave of post-war consumerism...!

@NowtbutaLad @railnigel Based on the Rolling stock and station platform depicted in this photograph, it looks a good few years older than 1996! Did Promenade station also close in 1994...?! 🤔

@PhilTonks2 I guess it could be worse...!! - At least there is an up to date information 'timetable' board, telling you not to bother waiting....🙄

Where even the humble luggage label is pretty georgous...

@TransportForWM @NetworkRailBHM Hi, At Wolverhampton, trying to get to Tipton. Train cancelled. Station staff saying ticket acceptance on local bus. NatEx Bus driver (X8) saying he knows nothing about it and not accepting rail tkt!!! 🙄

The stunning Wemyss Bay station! - Where the train seamlessly meets the ferry...

Be rude not to pop by whilst heading north! Pausing to take a look around the modernist marvel that is Preston Bus Station... 😍

Finding something I didn't know I was looking for..! - There can't be many department stores in the country, where you can ride in a 99 year old lift! ✨️😍

Standing above fields between the outskirts of Paris and Orleans, the flawed remains of high speed inter-city ambition..!
