RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted December 10, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 10, 2017 Pratts Bottom The direction you lot are going you'll end up in Bedford. And Bedford doesn't know where it is, its not in the Midlands, its not in East Anglia and its not in the South. When I was in the army I asked one day "Where do you come from?" and I replied "Bedford". One of my mates said "Suppose someone has to." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blue Streak Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Here's a Carp quality photo of the Balloon loop at Mount Walton, just East of Koolyanobbing. Iron ore is loaded here and taken to port near Kwinana. I took this on my last trip out there about 4 years ago. Trains run around the 1500m 12000 tonne (+ or -) range so quite small by Iron ore standards in West Oz.

The Blue Streak Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Dunno about the mother country, but in Oz, to call someone a "Bell End" means something completely different I think. Bell End sounds like a winner to Me. Edited December 11, 2017 by The Blue Streak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted December 11, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 11, 2017 The pub, The Miners Arms, next to Farrington Halt had the ticket office attached to it. I think it was Penge West, more than 30 years ago, where there was a note in the closed ticket office window saying "Jim - the keys are in the pub." 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Tim Dubya Posted December 11, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) The pub, The Miners Arms, next to Farrington Halt had the ticket office attached to it.
