Transit of Venus

Post by BristleGWR »

Completely unrelated to railways, but I was lucky today to get a couple of photo's of the transit of Venus.

I think that's certainly about the furthest from Bristol a thread on here has ever got!

Still, I suppose "transit" make it slightly transport related :D

(Great pics BTW!)

Further even than a Saltley man could go!
You can tell a Derby man, but you can't tell him much!

You mean that Saltley men didn't sign the road to Venus? You learn something new every day!

Hmmm - put back drivers and mileage turns .....

I recall once getting a ticket in from one particular put back driver who had been rostered Portsmouth one way, RAO.

It turned out that, whilst down there, they were short of a secondman for a Brighton turn, so he volunteered for that. Got about 13 hours in that day, as I recall :mrgreen:
