  1. Brilliant video Sarah, a station that smells of nail varnish remover? I don't think i've heard that one before lol. It's a shame you haven't found any ghosts of monks, that would of been something to see lol.

  2. Neat, a young trans person in the rail fan community. What a misunderstanding perceiving preferences / gender presentation need a social transition to be accepted. Because we can't change Sex and there is a religion or cult going around in the "first world" nations of the planet. A pitty we Aspie folk with stereotypical (male) hobbies fall so easy victim to this cult.

  3. Very good video Sarah. I thought Darsham was the station with the Indian restaurant. But that is of course Oulton Broad South. Darsham is in the book "The Unlikely Spy" by Daniel Silva.

  4. Brilliant video Sarah. Must admit I didn't know about the moving platforms
    I think if I saw any ghosts of monks, I'd be running for the first train out

  5. Halesworth, Beccles, Aldeby, Haddiscoe High Level, St Olaves(where I grew up), Belton/Burgh Castle and Yarmouth Southtown. Also via Fleet Junction at Haddiscoe it was possible to go to Norwich on the Wherry Line if need be. I think freight used that mainly. Plus Yarmouth Beach was available via the Breydon Viaduct..

  6. Darsham Level crossing is somewhat of an anomaly, usually the drivers white light setup is used for AOCL/ABCL crossings with Darsham being an AHB it is a mitigation in the up direction only due to trains stopping at the station and the general busyness of the A12. The crossing only activates once the train is in the station in the up (Ipswich bound) direction.

  7. What do Smart Card readers do once they'ce read your Smart Card ?
    Tell you your future ? Tell you who to place a bet on at the ten-past-three at Chepstow ?

  8. Nice one Sarah!

    Its a good little line. Lowestoft is a decent end-line station and the East Suffolk line is important, allowing access to Ipswich then on to London.
