The little known GN&WR... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/257088734101 The Great Northern and Western Railway--------Athlone-Westport and Ballina otherwise known as "Lord Lucan's line", or the Mayo Line The line was leased by the MGW in 1859 until amalgamated with the larger company in 1889/90. Whether genuine GNWR gate signs ever existed, I am not really bothered. 1
