Reflections of BR in the 70s and 80s

摘要

1.Can I cab it? The response was unfortunately "no". No. 45018 is about to depart from Huddersfield with a Newcastle to Liverpool Lime Street service in May 1978. 2.Manchester Victoria, summer 1979: Going on holiday, a great people-watching photo. Notice their expressions, actions, clothes, hair and a whole array of other thought-provoking aspects. 3.Ringing home: Is this little girl speaking to her mum on the phone as she prepares to go on holiday with her grandmother? It was taken at Manchester Victoria during the summer of 1979. 4.The arrival at Ashburys of Class 506 M59403M goes unnoticed as the lady tells the gentleman seated next to her a thing or two in the summer of 1979. 5.Platform 14, Manchester Victoria, on a Sunday afternoon in March 1974. The expressions on everyone's faces seem to be saying... "I don't fancy loading that lot". 6.At Guide Bridge stabling point a driver makes his way towards his loco for the night on a wet September 1979 evening. It looks like it will be the Class 47, rather than one of the Woodhead Class 76s.
