B) Now we all have cars, so we can so easily drive to our UK (& Europe) holiday destination. I suppose that some of the memories stand out, because I was a child and it was so exciting. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Those were the days. I remember going down to Paignton on a steam train direct from here with no changes. I think the line was closed in 1970.I loved that train journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just along the road from the station was a bridge over the road where it used to dip down to head for the River Wear and if you stood looking over the bridge you ended up with a couple of lungs full of smoke. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
