Time flies...

#Hale's Millennium Clock is now well into its 25th year and still ticking over nicely.

@northernassist No, there are currently no trams to Manchester beyond Old Trafford.

@njvphotographee Great shot! The headgear and winding engine survive @mining_museum , and today it's their Miners Festival. Super place to visit.

Good morning all, todays #Steamfix from the Harvey Scowcroft collection is a heavy coal train coming off Astley Green colliery. Hope everyone has the best day they can

FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY
End of an era. This morning [17 May 2019] @LoveLostwithiel saw its final weekday #HST #Class43 service up to London. These Crewe-built #trains are now between 37 and 44 years old, yet still pleasingly comfortable. 🙂 #Railways @GWRHelp

@railnigel On my rare visits to KX (I lived in Wolverhampton), I'd ascend into the station from the underground and INSTANTLY know from the unmistakable thrumming that somewhere there was a Deltic!
[Latterly, I would enjoy a similar, reminiscent tingle with the Class 68s at Man Pic.] 🙂

@SalfordMuseum I like her work. But poss Sunday April 14th? Or perhaps Saturday April 13th?

@timblazey @BBCiPlayer Were there an award (perhaps there is) for documentary making, then this powerful and affecting three hours of compelling viewing would surely be a leading contender.

Something for everyone @McrArtFair over the weekend. The 1880 former Manchester Central Station was busier than an influx of summer holiday excursions, and with enough art works to dazzle anyone arriving without shades. @mcr_central @daisy_collingridge @McrContemporary #TMC23

Just when Monday afternoon in #Altrincham seems to be getting greyer and wetter, up pops a lovely #rainbow to relieve the gloom!  🌈

@RHummBooks @GlenBatten1 Poss try Google PhotoScan? Often works well capturing a painting behind glass on the wall of a gallery where reflections can be a nightmare. It guides you to take five pictures from different positions and combines them hence could - no guarantees - eliminate some of the texture.

@simon_68025 @Captain_Deltic They seem competent locos and will be missed at Manchester Piccadilly where they bring a bit of character. This is 68025 Superb departing with the 1135 to Scarborough on Wednesday 9th August. The sun is bright and the driver has donned her shades.

@ParallaxFluxTX And from Trafford Council: https://t.co/scZLTJxPbs

[Trafford Council @TraffordCouncil]

We are opposed to proposals to close the railway station ticket offices in Trafford. Here's the letter from Cllr Tom Ross and Cllr Aidan Williams calling on train operators to reconsider.

To have your say on plans, please email [email protected]

@Guard_Amos @northernassist A lovely glimpse of traditional rural branch line practice from a different era, but rather than on a heritage line it's today on our national railway. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

@EurostarJustinp @bessbbe Thanks Bessie @bessbbe and Justin @EurostarJustinp for sharing this gem!
