RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 23, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 23, 2014 If you have the slightest tendency towards the music of Queen, I can recommend "We Will Rock You" Cheers, Mick it ended in may! might have a look at "dirty rotten scoundrels", there is not much on on a sunday to be honest, there is always "war horse" on monday though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium cold-ash Posted August 24, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 24, 2014 I'd certainly recommend War Horse, all the more poignant this year. There's no shame in shedding a tear either, I did! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 24, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Ha ha, this show is brilliant, 1/2 time interval at the mo, we are upto the sgt peppers era so far They allow cameras while the show is on and you can tweet requests etc and everyone (ie those with replacement joints) are up dancing in the isles and clapping along Thoroughly recommended Sorry for the thread diversion but i dont get out much to things that arent child orientated!!

RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 24, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 24, 2014 (edited) Really enjoyed that! The guy playing george harrison can sure play the guitar, he did a solo of "as my guitar gently weeps" which just blew me away And of course an encore of "hey jude" Normal service will be resumed tomorrow.........

So many sidings and run rounds at Stewarts Lane / Battersea in the 80s, quite a few of them lost to the undergrowth even back then. Being at Norwood, I signed this area and even I didn't know where the Hell I was half the time. Nice to see something still exists. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2014 The show was just amazing, so pleased to have got the front row seat for it What actually happened was my name never got called out but the girl who won the last single ticket needed two, i was stood waiting for the return ticket queue to open and i spotted her discussing with her boyfriend what to do and ended up buying the ticket off her, was a bit worried about getting in as it had her name on it but it was fine! Im just on my way upto scotland for what i would normally call a 'well deserved break' but to be honest i feel like ive just had one and would be happy to stay in work 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 26, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I was on a london bus this morning!! As the train was full and standing from euston the guard let those standing sit in 1st class which was a nice bonus Just discovered the holiday camp were in up here is next to a railway line, and looking at RTT there are lots of coal trains booked passed there, longthannett, kilwinning etc, wonder if the van has a view of the line?

trisonic Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) I remember leaving Glasgow for London, steam hauled express but using suburban stock...luckily we had a compartment to ourselves. My brother and I could pee out of the door window. My Mother was in a bad way by the time we arrived at Crewe (or wherever - it was a bloody long way). The joys of late fifties BR..... Best, Pete. PS They did change the stock at Crewe. Edited August 26, 2014 by trisonic 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 27, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 27, 2014 Had a bit of a wander from the caravan earlier to the bridge spanning the railway line, quite a busy line, passenger train every 30 mins (class 380) to either ardrossan harbour or largs and a couple of coal trains an hour too Got there just i time to see a pair of 57s on a hunterston to sellafield flask train, got a few piccies but again they are on the proper camera so will have to wait til i get home to post them on here Going to have a trip on the train into Glasgow tomorrow i recon, to to the science centre 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 28, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 28, 2014 Went to the riverside museum in glasgow today, a good day out, lots for the kids to see and do, having read the reviews on trip advisor i didnt know what to expect really, some bits were a bit strange like the 'wall of cars' where tge cars are displayed on plinths on a huge wall so you cant get up close and all you can see of the higher cars are the undersides!! A few locos in there, quite enjoyed the 1930s subway car though, didnt realise the glasgow subway was worked by the trains 'grabbing' a continuously running 5 mile long cable to move and letting go of it to stop!! 13 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnlambert Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Great photos, as always, Jim. I visited the Glasgow Museum back in January; your picture brought back happy memories. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted August 31, 2014 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2014 It was a good day out, as i say trip advisor had mixed reviews but i really liked it, there is a tall ship outside that you can also go on, the kids really enjoyed that, exploring all the decks We caught the train from stevenston into glasgow and as it was off peak the kids travelled free, had we visited the science centre i stead they would have got free entry to there with the rail tickets too but we never made it there because of the time 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesysmith Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 The idea of a camp site next to a railway line is very tempting, but if it ever happens by accident to us, my lass has threatened to turn me into a eunock.
