[Interest for Railway Enthusiasts]

There is a depressing photo of Basford and Bulwell station in its death throes in one of the threads - can't locate it. Thought I would post a couple of pictures of how I remember it.

Top picture shows 63863, taken from Dobbie Bridge by T G Hepburn, where I began my trainspotting in the late 1940s. The bottom picture, taken by H C Casserley, looks in the opposite direction from the station over-bridge and shows 61281 entering from Daybrook. Dobbie Bridge is in the background.

Not heard the phrase Dobbie Bridge in ages. Grand parents lived on Saxondale. Im only old enough to remember the old railway bridge being taken out, and the goods shed being demolised.

[Sherwood Station?]

just cooked this up to see where the tunnel was, in the modern landscape

i was able to get all JFK assasination by using the house in the background that still exists and is more or less exactly sideways on. the bushy area where i've put the photographer is probably all thats left of the cuttings visable in ashleys pic.

And without overlay

Thought this might help.

Just up the road from me, and I didnt even know about the Rat-Hole!
