Wickham Green too Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 3 hours ago, rab said: Wrong kind of snow??? Most definitely - and it caught EVERYBODY out ! .......... I was working by New Beckenham station at the time and we closed the office early, about 4PM on 1st Feb as it was looking bad outside. I got to the station as the last down train arrived - the driver told me it was the last one and was terminating there and then so I checked out the buses and found they'd already packed up .... trudged up to the Junction and found the main line still open so caught a train to Bromley South and trudged home from there. There were no trains nor buses on the 2nd. This was New Beckenham on the 3rd : - 3/2/09 10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proprietors of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway had the same forward vision at Stockport; although those of the Stockport Timperley and Altrincham probably didn't! 3 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Mol_PMB Posted August 8 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 8 The Bridgewater aqueduct - all looks fine from this angle except maybe a few splinters: But walk underneath it and it looks like this: It must have taken quite some force to splinter this timber beam - it's at least 12" square: This seems to happen quite regularly. 8 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingEdwardII Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago 1 hour ago, Talltim said: Greatbridge Road, Romsey Sadly, it's as regular as clockwork at that bridge. Causes chaos for the town as it's the main route north. The steel roll bars installed on each side of the bridge seem to do their job and cause maximum damage to the truck with minimum impact on the bridge. It's not a particularly low bridge - it will take double decker buses quite happily. Yours, Mike. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
