It's good to see this Midland Railway relic is still in situ by the site of the long-gone Forster Square station in Bradford. It is at least 102 years old and the wrought iron MR is wearing thin!

This was the entrance to the station back in the day but today it is just a fence in the Midland Hotel car park. The present-day station is some distance further north.

HFF to everyone. Enjoy the weekend.

Nottingham railway station was first opened by the Midland Railway in 1848 and rebuilt by the same company in 1904, with much of the current building dating from the later date.

This decorative terracotta wall is located above the entrance to the ticket hall and the railway's intertwined initials MR are in the centre. The Midland actually disappeared into the LMS at Grouping in 1923.

HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

Brilliant sunshine on the platforms of Rugby Midland station as a Virgin Railways Class 390 Pendolino electric multiple unit runs into platform 1 with a train for Birmingham. Trains were badly delayed or cancelled due to a truck striking an under-bridge between Birmingham and Coventry. We took a London Midland Trains emu to Euston which was only 20 minutes late.

HBM to everyone. Enjoy the start of a new week.

Another shot of the fabulously textured Glenfield railway tunnel wall.

Opened in 1832 by Robert Stephenson for the Leicester & Swannington Railway to bring coal & granite into Leicester. At that time it was the longest rail tunnel in the world at 1796 yards! It was taken over by the Midland Railway in 1846 & closed to passengers in 1928 & goods traffic by BR through to Leicester West Bridge in 1966.

HWW to everyone.

A view west from the hillside of Sheffield city centre. Midland railway station sits low in the Sheaf valley.

South Street Park Amphitheatre in the foreground is an open-air amphitheatre used for performances, screenings and installations. This area was the site of poor slum housing until cleared in the 1950-60s to make this green space near the heart of the city.

HFF to everyone and have a great weekend.

Saltley Shed Birmingham

A Bing view of Saltley shed Birmingham, or what was left of it a couple of years ago. The steam shed used to be top right. The late steam-age staff amenity block is the red brick building right and the diesel shed is mid-right. The Midland mainline from Derby runs diagonally across the view, Derby to top, Birmingham New Street from bottom.

The remains of the depot were demolished last year.
