Thanks for the photo's.

They are brilliant and it really brings back the memorys of when I was a little un' watching steam and warships and peaks from what we called the wooden bridge by the chocolate factory. My dad was a fireman at Barrow Road and he took me and my brother up to Mangotsfield a ...

Sorry, absolutely right it is Fishponds bank. It's just that I lived in Greenbank and always called it that.

Regarding the Jubilee's. There is a good shot of one passing Kingswood Junction below. Not a photograph I've seen before but very interesting.

The screenshots look very good Tony. Do you have any shots of the Greenbank incline and how far away are you fron finishing it?

What a fantastic photograph, this is just what I have been waiting for.

There must be lots more photo's of this part of the LMS line about.

Thanks Wheeltapper.

Happy New year to everyone.

Hi Frame.

The website that I found is the only thing about the school that I can find, the class photo's are a couple of years before my time at the school but I recognise the teachers.

I was also trying to find something on Greenbank primary school as some of my first memorys of the LMS are from ...

Thanks for the information mjt, do anyone know of any track plans for the gasworks?

Am I right in saying that there was a loop from the LMS line from Kingswood junction where it passes into the gas works, then runs through the gas works and then takes a left turn back onto the GWR line headng towards Stapleton Road station?

While researching for my old school which was Coombe Road in Eastville, I found this very interesting photograph on their website of Eastville and the railway line from Kingswood junction to Narroways Junction.

Why is there such a shortage of photgraphs of the LMS line from Barrow Road, up the ...

Great video of the warship and western at saltford.
Wouldn't it be fantastic if there was film of the old LMS line through Bristol.

Fantastic pictures but also very sad,if only someone had a little think back then as to what the solution to the current traffic problems could be.

Would'nt it be great to still see railway traffic running through Easton,Fishponds and Staple Hill today,I am sure that these stations would be busy ...

Brilliant pictures madhattie,we don't see enough of the old Midland line as it is in its heyday or at the end.
When do your new site go online because if that is what we have got to look forward to then I can't wait.

May I add my best wishes to everyone on this excellent website.
And long may it continue,Well done Madhattie,

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Well done tugboatcharly2,keep those stories coming.Like the injector says, imagine that scene today,it would be absolute manic.
After an engine was recovered from the snow after so long,was there any special work that needed to be done before it was back in duty?
and were you given any time off ...

I went on these trips back in the late sixties and early seventies.
The first 4 days you had fixed destinations so that you had to know where you were going to,but on the Friday it was always a mystery tour.
I remember ending up at Newquay in Cornwall and somewhere in north Wales on a few Fridays ...
