Policemen that look older than me Rog

I remember the bridge over the midland mainline being removed,it was done on a Sunday morning when I paid my first visit to the Great Central, got off the train at Loughborough midland and the bridge in question was being flame cut and sections removed using a STEAM CRANE no less,that must have been at the end of the 70's beginning of the 80's Rog

The Tamworth mail? who said the age of romance was dead,nice one Pete, BTW did you ever put that book together I tried to encourage out of you? with all that knowledge about railways you and Bilbraborn should consider it Rog, ps, put me down for the first copy

I agree with Chris B it is mainly used as a thoroughfare because it leads somewhere,ie: the bus station or the train station so it's a short cut to both whereas Vic center does'nt really lead anywhere and it's not a short cut, the only bit you could describe as short cut would be from Glasshouse street through to the Trininy square area,well thats my thoughts anyway Rog
