Railway Signs
Remember the times before digital when the train destinations were just planks of wood with the destinations on them? Sometimes they had to be hand written with chalk as some of the stations were added on :lol: :lol: :lol: kingscote-and-east-grinstead-green-next-train-sign-bluebell-railway-england-u...

Re: DO YOU REMEMBER THESE?
Came across this photo and it reminded me when we use to see Policeman on these bikes. They were so slow we use to chase after them up the street, much to the annoyance of the rider!
