While not in any way shape or form ignoring the horror, tragedy and sorrow in this, it was a car crash that involved the railway. Not a rail crash/accident.

As my Great Uncle would also have said!
Its the final day of the winter Olympics. 98 years ago my Great Uncle, Eddie Meyer, went skiing using a Brough Superior..... Guess there wasn't much paperwork back in the day! @joeyfingis.bsky.social @motorcyclesworld.bsky.social @stormskijournal.bsky.social @cairngormsnews.bsky.social
Brilliant! Be great to see you and I'll bring Rail Infrastructure mag for you. Where are you travelling from he asked hopefully! I'm training it to Alton or Winchester.
With respect. Obvs.
I would have come today Mike if I'd known you would be there. I'm visiting next Friday for the filming.
Pucker them first in a sign of true sorrow.....
Bad boy Mr Paul!

And the Reform Councillor in the Isle of Wight who decided NOT to declare her NINE rental properties had to leave that Party.
A year ago saw the first train carrying passengers between Bicester & Milton Keynes. #westcoastrailways operated this and another half a dozen or so since then. @chilternrailway.bsky.social have yet to announce a start date for services despite announcing they were to be the operators last March.
Correct, you are wrong even when which country is considered boyo......
Roughly 50 years ago on my travels. Not saying where I was at though, I'll leave that to others to figure out.
The locals want it back mooving in Cowes.......
Guess the Cowes Floaty bridge will next to be sold given its uselessness!
What on earth was that doing there?

Err looks like a Morris Marina engine to me Simon. I know a lot more about steam locos than car/boat engines! At least that part of the 1955 Morris has done 100+mph!
Did you note the LNER bucket seat I use as the driver's seat? Its off A4 No. 60001. Adrian Shooter told me I was bonkers when he saw it! And this is the boat engine, a 1990 built 38' narrowboat.
Absolutely and also to carry freight.
