Great video of my local station. It was good speaking with at the foot bridge. It will be a sad day when that bridge does finally get replaced. Keep up the good work!
Have you got any memories of Gillingham Railway Station? I would love to read your recollections of time using or visiting this station.
A really informative video and some great shots from that footbridge. I shall do a video here one day
Really nice video of the station. I like the photos in the waiting area too showing the history. The station does look busy and has a lot of features that you showed us. The frontage look modern but the station has kept some nice features. Nice to see the sidings still there and in the old maps photo it did seem to have quite few. Great to see the planter box with the message for previous staff who worked there too.
Extremely informative video, I learned a great deal about a station I have stood on or gone passed on a train many times .
Hopefully you will be going upline to Gravesend soon.
The 700 s are new to me, does anybody else feel they sound like the TARDIS as they move away ?😮
Saw you last week at the Gillingham railway crossing
Frosted glass so you can't see pigeon shite.Also don't venture outside station, possibly the most depressing High St in Kent
