I've heard that there might be a preservation order on the Ratcliffe cooling towers, if true it would be a dream come true, always loved seeing cooling towers on any landscape, so impressive and so imposing Here's some photos on 35mm film I took last year. – at Hadley, England

Britain was built by hardy men in boiler suits on working class streets; and ruined by middle class men in designer suits on Downing Street. What a tragic epitaph for our coal and steel industries - and democracy

We’ve just released a very special video on YT - @SRichardBowker’s footplate ride on @festrail's Snowdonian from his and @railnigel's trip last month. You want the volume up so you can bask not only in the glorious scenery, but in the great sound too! youtu.be/eMlmbQ1Mv5s

⚠️The railway is closed between Llandudno Junction and Blaenau Ffestiniog due to river flooding washing out the stones that support the track 🦺 The line will be shut until further notice while we carry out emergency repairs 🙏We're sorry for the disruption
