Title: Frinton on Sea now has a topic of its own Post by: IndustryInsider on April 12, 2017, 10:53:02 Let's hope not ... but I'll admit to drawing a deep breath when I saw two successive threads on the WNXX forum's "breaking news" section ... (http://www.wellho.net/pix/wiresdown.jpg) And don't forget the GEML for good measure... ;) http://www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/15219146.Suspended_rail_services_cause_major_disruption_after_overhead_wires_damaged/ Title: Frinton on Sea now has a topic of its own Post by: stuving on April 12, 2017, 13:23:01 And don't forget the GEML for good measure... ;) http://www.clactonandfrintongazette.co.uk/news/15219146.Suspended_rail_services_cause_major_disruption_after_overhead_wires_damaged/ But not exactly the GE Main Line - "Frinton-on-Sea cut off from the world" is one of those headlines,isn't it?

May be apocryphal but a good one nonetheless: Many years ago - sign at Liverpool St station proclaims in large letters "Harwich for the Continent" Underneath someone had written "Frinton for the rest of us!"
