Western Times - Issue 11 Winter 2024

Topic in this issue include; a photographic exploration of the Welsh Marches; diversity in GWR signal box architecture; an extended account of the challenges of working services under extreme adversity during the brutal winter of 1962/ 3; an enquiry into the oddities of catering vehicle movements on Sundays; The Dick Riley section looks at tender locomotives working backwards. The Great Western Trust is back with another bulletin, as is the next instalment of the Pannier Story (there is a long way to go with that one). Also, there is a second Riley album (this time commentary-free) to provide a foretaste of a new initiative from the publisher. No need for words as the images speak for themselves!
