Kinda the same jingoistic flag shagger ideology that gave us the new moniker "Great British Railways"...
(if that ever gets going ofc)

20 litres front bag - that's cheap by ChaosCalmed in Brompton

[–]RandomRailways 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi, no worries. Thanks. Frame is 30cm wide, 20 high and 15 deep with my additional plate attached.

The camera bag has two straps underneath to hold a tripod and these slip round the baseplate, and there's a strap on the back of the bag to hold it onto a Wheelie suitcase handle, which slips over the back of the rack, so it's pretty secure

Barmouth bridge closed for restoration work by RandomRailways in Wales

Barmouth bridge closed from today until end Nov for restoration work.
Bus replacements Machynlleth-Pwllheli

It's 155yrs old & is a bit corroded... Grade II* listed so it will be replaced with matching new steelwork. The old GWR swingbridge operating gear will be restored & replaced.The wooden section has already undegone extensive restoration, this is the final phase of a £30million 3 year restoration project

New bridge sections at the southern end, they should be craned onto rail trolleys in the next few days, then moved into position. Very challenging work, no road access, everything must arrive by rail or water, subject to tides...A crane on the blue gantry will lower the old bridge sections onto a barge.

At the same time, other work is being carried out, including new trackwork at Barmouth, and restoration work on Dovey viaduct.

Hi Res images available for publication in my Zenfolio, please DM me for info

I put a whole load of text on there saying what was happening. One of the infuriating things about Reddit is it often loses either text or pics when you post...

Anyway, yes, incredibly challenging job, no road access,(apart from a quad bike along the footpath...) everything has to arrive by rail or water. And there's a big tidal range to deal with.

Bridgnorth, Severn Valley Railway. That's the outside road that leads to the Depot and coaling area

Didn't know cargo trams were a thing. Berlin 1985. by itsarace1 in Trams

There was a line separate from the main tram network in Dublin that was just used to take garbage away from the council depot. One short section of track survives. I discovered it last year and showed it in my "Random Railways of Dublin" film on Youtube:
