Pictures taken all over the British railway network in the last 30 years or so. Some of the old 35mm slides are a bit blurry but then those were the days of 65ASA film, 1/125th and Focus DIY. These pictures are displayed for information/research purposes only and are not for sale under any circumstances. Every effort has been made to verify the information in the captions but its accuracy cannot be guaranteed
