According to the Warwickshire Railways website, the station opened in 1844, but who built the bridge, the rail company or council and when was it built? Any ideas?

If he fell off the Co-op he’d fall in the divi

There was an LNER 4-6-0 numbered 8303 named IMPALA. I am sure I saw it at Rugby a couple times.

You have to pay for progress. I just hope they’ve got it right, not like motorways, which after a few years they realised they were not big enough and had to be widened.

Check out the HS2 map. There will be a Birmingham Interchange near to Birmingham International Station.

Concorde was a beautiful piece of technology and art. I doubt we could say the same of HS2.

Was he the Bill who used to work at The Meadway? He had a moustache and always wore a bow tie

I don’t think so. My mum wouldn’t have walked all the way to Lea Village if there had been a PO “over the fields” as we used to say.
