#OnThisDay 36 years ago City Thameslink opened. Fascinating image of the newly-opened station in its original 'St Paul's Thameslink' incarnation (its name changed after just 16 months on 30/09/1991), and before it was rafted over. Tom Burnham https://t.co/OyxAmxx58G

London Transport’s 1992 Central line train prototype had illuminated in-train maps to show your progress. They weren’t taken through into production, sadly
Before steam engines were used in 1863, slate was transported down from the mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port by gravity trains. Today the railway runs occasional gravity trains for fun. One such train has just gone past our house. (PS. This is not today’s event that I am beyond excited about 🤣)
This Two Ronnies sketch was never televised originally (it appeared many years later), but I’ve no idea why. It was written by Ronnie Barker, under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley, and for my money it gives Four Candles a run for it’s money. Seriously, if I’d written something this good I’d just retire immediately.
What a talent!
Good morning.
