He has visited several preserved railways this summer (lucky sod - he's a teacher), and particularly noticed first the youngsters who are now working on those railways - one was the fireman today - second the very high standard with which they turn out the engines and the rolling stock - and third the way in which small children are fascinated by these relics of yesteryear. His nostalgia harks back to his father working on the railways - and, yes, he has been on the Severn Valley and been very impressed.dreamingspirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00324207120279777521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-44118106024460033852010-08-25T10:40:00.391+01:002010-08-25T10:40:00.391+01:00Beautiful photographBeautiful photographFrank Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12447989626809704972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606798.post-15268891794446561272010-08-25T08:53:01.976+01:002010-08-25T08:53:01.976+01:00Indeed a lovely idea, but as the official concerne...Indeed a lovely idea, but as the official concerned admitted "We’re talking about many millions of pounds of which, at the moment, we don’t have", as a supporter (like me) of the Coalition, you can't really approve!Gawainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03187287590748938980noreply@blogger.com
