As the Class 455s did their last services yesterday, here are my first photos of the class at Clapham Junction in August 1984 & my last photo at Waterloo in August 2022. Never thought to get piccys when in London this year! #455

Sadly, it's 20 years ago today since Etruria station was closed.
Despite a public enquiry reporting it should stay open, the DfT closed it anyway.

Two weeks ago, I was at a theme park near Dartmouth.
Last week, I was in Edinburgh.
Today, I am in Stoke.
Something has gone very wrong!

Anyone know what's going on in the old yard at Longport station? All the vegetation has been removed, most of the track lifted and fences gone up!

Interesting. Dad would have been pleased as he had something to do with the project to take out the level crossing and build the bridge in 1972!

FACT OF THE DAY. 6 July 1957. John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the 1st at the St. Peter’s Church Hall Garden Fête in Woolton, Liverpool. They met before Lennon gave an evening performance with his band The Quarrymen. The meeting changed the course of musical and culture history.
