The bridge was the site of the ‘Great Train Robbery’ where the poor engine driver received life changing injuries. Ba*tards. :angry:

Well done you win first prize, remember as a kid at school getting 5 house marks for a painting depicting the GTR which was pretty amazing as I aint artistic at all, Buzzer

You were right to use quotation marks. Even as a teenager, I could not understand why the media were already referring to the ‘great’ train robbery. There was nothing great about violently assaulting a transport worker and it wasn’t a victimless crime.

Street scene, Buzzer

The Dartmouth Ferry pic gave me a pause for thought. Ford Anglia, Vauxhall Victor(?), and an Austin 12, the same model that my Grandad owned in the 1950s which we as a family inherited when he died, and the only vehicle in 59 years the number plate of which I still remember to this day. DNE 911. Even today, if I have to fill in the numbers of either of my 2 current cars, I have to look out of the window to check. :confused:

I enlarged the photo, and it isn’t that one, what would be the chances? :laughing:

You forgot to identify the truck at the back so have another look and inform us all, maybe it was one of your many varied driving jobs you have had, :smiley: what chances of that mate, Buzzer

Didn’t forget, didn’t bother with it, assumed it must be one of yours.
