Well that's one way of getting rid of rolling stock...
Broithe replied to Dunluce Castle's topic in Letting off Steam
Didn't they bury some in a quarry because of the asbestos? -
I went to ten schools, often a long way from wherever we were living at the time - for one year, I had to go eighteen miles there, and back, every day, in what amounted to a old van with wooden benches that were fitted fore and aft - whenever the brakes were applied we all slid up to the front in a heap... There would be a queue of clip-boards a mile long if you tried it today.

A career in the Observer Corps beckons.....

Eh, what? Merely answering Wrenn's question about whether or not the link works.

Works for me.

BTP must have a highly efficient internet surveillance system. Having said that I've never seen a BTP officer, I just gave someone a lift to the station and two of them were coming out as we went in. They appeared to be on a mission or I would have asked them if I could take a picture (risking arrest as a terrorist suspect).... The only available parking space was next to their car, too. I'm getting a little paranoid now.

Lovely picture.

Link?

Hell! There's a Tiger approaching.....

I presume that the idea was to 'raise awareness' or something like that. BTP officers are easily recognisable just by the sheer number of pockets - even if you're not near enough to read the badge.

British Transport Police - http://www.btp.police.uk/ - a national service dedicated specifically to the railways. I've never actually seen one of them, if you get hassle on a train and somebody does turn up, then they will invariably be a 'real' copper from wherever you happen to be. I imagine they spend a lot of effort in combating metal theft, but I don't really know. They did once have an actual engine, which was really a little embarrassing, I thought. I saw it once and wondered what they would actually do with it...?

Very nice. Three points, though. 1, You might distress the mirrors on the vans, few of them get very far without hitting something. 2, If you want some finer chain for the cement wagon, you could ask your Domestic Supervisor for her advice. 3, It wouldn't hurt to have a little bit of track on that railing for future photo opportunities.
