I was at the Meads this morning there were a couple of Network Rail guys giving the building on Platform 11 a good coat of looking at .

In fact BB this is an all new series and will fill the gap left by Top Gear on Sunday nights very well indeed a much more gentle form of telly.

For many years after it was built it was the largest self supporting roof in the country
Great Man that Brunel.

That might be the old train shed by IKB (Isambard Kingdom Brunel) at Temple Meads .

It must be very difficult to make a documentary about 1970s British Rail without archive material featuring that man.

On a par with the 'Sounds of...' and 'Top of the Pops' repeats on BBC4. There's only so much untainted footage. Seems these days only Noel Edmonds, Peter Powell and Tony Blackburn feature.

The last three Celebs that it's still safe to refferance ?.

I wonder which Punkawallah is in charge of the Portaloo...... Roll Eyes
Not too put to finer point on it I thought portaloo was still making films about great British Railway Journeys !.

Wow, what a  feast of nostalgia !
For those of you that missed it , it is repeated on BBC» (British Broadcasting Corporation - home page) 4 this coming Thursday 27th Feb at 2200

Oh, how did I miss that, I wonder?  Still, it's bound to be shown on one of the minor channels before long; many of them seem to survive on the repeats from other stations.  Perhaps it'll be on iplayer....

Yes it's on I Player don't worry.

Wiltshire Railways

Quote from PSbooks.co.uk
With over 200 archive photographs this book tells the story of Wiltshire railways and the impact they had on the lives of everyone in the county
When it was first released in 2009 the rrp was ^19:99
On sale today for ^7:99 +p&p the item code is. 10783
Thought this might be of some interest to our Wiltshire Members.

Well, I heard she was trying to get to the local Zoological Gardens. Wouldn't have been worth it though. It only has one small canine on display. It's a Shih-Tzu.
Bless You.
