Victoria Station & Great Central Railway
The Pianoman replied to sweetpea's topic in Pete's Nottingham Transport Forum
Good find thanks -
Blackbirds for me. I always get one nesting in either the dilapidated shed I've got at the bottom of my garden or it will be in my conifers. This year I seem to have three blackbird nests.

I saw them parked up in various places the other day while I was down there. What do you do? Penny in the slot machine to pay for its use?

But you are one of those 34,000 with nothing better to do as you must have watched it

Been shopping in there.

It didn't go under Bells Lane. I remember the same gate as you and the steep bit of hill going up from what was then a tiny Cinder Hill Island. (Trolleybus poles always coming off).

The police were out in force yesterday when I went past on the bus. Bar Lane end. Just a point tho'. The Mrs Bee that I mentioned lived at No 27 which was at the side of that railway line. My fathers sister lived at 25. All a long time ago in the days when there was a police station on the central reservation.

Welcome to the elite group. A Mrs Bee lived next door to my fathers sister on Melbourne Road.

I had a recorded message from HMRC on my mobile today. Apparently I am to be convicted for tax fraud. So the next meet up might be in a big house somewhere

Sorry to hear that. knew both your parents well. I even remember your birth. Now that makes me feel old

Slightly amused that the bus, registration 76 LNN is parked at the side of a 105E Anglia. an uncle of mine on Melbourne Road had a 105E Anglia that was registered 600 LNN

Well if Cities like Dresden and Warsaw that were bombed flat during WW2 can be rebuilt as they were perhaps its not such a bad idea to put Nottingham back as it was. Its the best plan suggested so far

The one that Dunn Line had was a Leyland PD3 btw

Victoria Station & Great Central Railway
The Pianoman replied to sweetpea's topic in Pete's Nottingham Transport Forum
I need info on Nottingham Victoria Station. Was there a passenger entrance into the station from Lower Parliament Street or was all passenger entrance from Milton Street? Was Lower Parliament Street a 'bridge' with Thurland Street being the tunnel out southbound? When in the station how did you get from one platform to the next? Was it by bridge or was there a subway? Here is a map of the station: If you click on the link and then go to No 9 on the left hand side of the page all will be revealed. You can enlarge it and move it around. https://w -

Dutch bikes with 3 speed s/a are OK in Holland where it is all flat.

Had a bit of amusement to myself while sitting in the queue for the jab. Had a look around at everyone else in the waiting area and queuing outside and suddenly realised that everyone was 64

I got my sticker! I applied online, put my postcode in when asked, the only Nottinghamshire centre available to me was Pinxton. Everything else was in Derbyshire, even as far away as Derby City Centre. I went to Horsley Woodhouse. Although NG16 postcode does go into derbyshire, I wonder if this is being done to make the figures look better for Derbyshire

Sorry. Done a DJ360

Well I'm pickled now and my jab is tomorrow afternoon. Does this mean that the jab won't work or will something happen to me?

Overriders are on the wrong sides. Where in Basford is this to be viewed?
