  3. As depicted by that great Glasgow Artist Trafficoni
  4. I know of a strictly unofficial service that ran from Airdrie to Coatdyke returning wrong line back to Airdrie after the last normal service train ran, only ran when the station supervisor was late shift! Saw it with my own eyes from my bedroom window! Jim
  5. Bit of it! Craigentinny sent them out to Millerhill (rev) round to Niddrie West Junction (rev) and back to Craigentinny Jim
  6. How about the Cairngorm peak "Bod an Deamhain" Literally means "Pen1s of the Demon". The present day English name Devils Point is a result of a visit to the area by Queen Victoria. She asked her local ghillie, John Brown, to translate the name; to avoid embarrassment he gave a safe answer
  7. The assumption made on that sign is that all motorcycles have two wheels, but this bad boy has three
  8. Surprised they are not required to say "Buses for other religions other than Christian are available" Imagine the disappointment for some of calling this number bottom left and finding that you are not actually talking to the Big Yin himself

  12. Don't most of them claim to have been there when in fact they haven't?
  13. It has been reported that Liverpool F.C are being investigated by Merseyside Police as they broke the lockdown rules by letting more than 6 in at the weekend!
  14. I hear Trump and Alana have contracted Coronavirus, (aw, shame I hear you say) first symptom was that they had no sense of taste, but that had been obvious for years so what alerted them now?
  15. And of course it would have been a friend that told you about that
  16. This yarn has been doing the rounds for a long time, think we can class it as a Rural Myth, although I bet some have thought about it. Come to think of it, if it really was a rural pub, out in the middle of nowhere, chances are the local Bobby would have been propping up the bar with the rest of them!
  17. I remember reading an old Locospotters Annual article about the introduction of the Britannias, and how initially there were incidents where the pin holding the tender and loco together failed, and one one occasion the loco separated from the train, with no brakes on the loco, putting it into reverse was the only means of stopping it in a reasonable distance. Jim
  18. An evenings walk up the hill behind the house, the Firth of Clyde in all its Glory!
  19. The Container Ship Adilia1 makes its way past Arran on its way from Greenock to Liverpool this evening Jim
