Today the tunnel is trackless but the tunnel mouth is still there, at the other end of the tunnel is the start of the Sett Valley trail which is on the old track bed to Hayfield.

One class fits all.
Yarra Road school. Victoria, Australia.
Yarra Road Primary School began in a single classroom with four students in 1925.
Prior to this the local children travelled by foot or horse to Wonga Park Primary School.
In 1925 a Miss Alice G. Broad was appointed as the first teacher at the school which was set amongst the gum trees and native flora of its current site.

56047 Rolls one of the seemingly never ending MGR trains through the down centre road at a foggy Leamington Spa. 27th November 1982.
My auntie Sybil at school in London she is standing 3rd row 5th from the right .
I'll add some more details of the school as soon as I find out .
Not really sure why the boy is holding a board with the I , perhaps that is the year 1 class .
I love some of the expressions of the kids and the girl standing next to my auntie looks like she just said something to make her laugh .
GWR Class 802 No. 802101 9 car Hitachi Intercity Express is seen at Plymouth station with ts first visit while working the 5X22 1913 Stoke Gifford to Laira for platform clearance tests.
The uber bright LED lights are so bloody annoying >_<
A class 47 in charge of a freightliner train. Judging by the nameplate position I think it is one of the batch named by the Western Region early in the brush type 4's career.
Unfortunately I have no further details for this image taken by my late father Douglas Tomes.
A class 26 with 4 Mk1 coaches passing Haymarket. Mid 1980s. Massive lens flare on this, but I like the image nonetheless.

Now what was the advert on UK TV in the 2000s on insurance when the main character was always ready for any accident or event.

Two class 31s on the Rylstone Tilcon in the yard at Skipton on 8 September 1990. I didn't record their identity at the time so it is purely on matching up with other fots that I'm punting on them being 31163 and 31207.
Electro-Motive Diesel Inc. Type JT42CWR Class 66 diesel electric locomotive 66534 heads a Freightliner intermodal northbound into Chelmsford Station on the Great Eastern Main Line with Class 90 'Skoda' 90046 behind and along for the ride dead in tow pantograph down.. (probably broken down..;-)
Note the signal L758 and the 45 degree 'feather' junction route indicator above the locomotives at the end of the down line platform (2). This signal is used to control bi-directional workings southbound on the down line.
If the proceed green aspect is shown and the 'feather' route indicator (5 lights at 45° above the signal) is illuminated showing a white aspect this means the crossover points are set for a train to crossover onto the 'up' line just beyond here. More often than not these are used for the weekday 6M53 Chelmsford low level yard to Mountsorrel Quarry aggregate return service and some early morning rush hour Liverpool Street bound trains. Generally trains are held at red before using the crossover to prevent excess speed on the points.
The caged signal device on the left is called a 'banner repeater' and these are positioned when the driver cannot see a forthcoming colour aspect signal. In this case it's for the down signal L717 at the other end of this platform (the up line) during bi-directional workings.
Also note the two bi-directional British Rail Automatic Warning System (AWS) Inductor Ramps in between the rails just in front of the locomotive.
The inductor ramp is an integral part of the AWS which was introduced on British Railways in 1956. AWS will warn the driver about the aspect of the following signal which is generally about 180/185 metres away in either direction. In this instance it is for signal L715 at the end of the down line platform (2). Data about the next signal aspect is sent electromagnetically to the driver as the train passes over the ramp. The inductor contains a magnet and an electromagnet which can denergise the magnet.
If the following signal aspect is green, the electromagnet of the ramp will magnetise and when the train passes over a buzzer will sound in the cab and the drivers AWS warning panel will show black and the driver can proceed as normal.
If the following signal aspect is showing yellow (caution) or red (stop, danger) the electromagnet will denergise the magnet and this will sound an alarm in the cab as the train passes over while the AWS warning panel will show yellow and black. If the driver does not press the cancel button to switch off the alarm within 6 seconds the brakes will be applied and the train will be stopped.

British Rail Class 321 'Dusty Bin' 4 car 25kV Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) 321364 working the 1Y05 06:52 (07:33 RT) Abellio Greater Anglia Ipswich- London Liverpool Street service train on August 12th 2017 southbound at Hatfield Peverel Station on the Great Eastern Main Line in Essex (UK).
Note the Dellner type coupling system at the front of the train. The Dellner Coupling is a version of the Scharfenberg coupler which connects pneumatics and electronics at the same point of contact.

Railtrack sandite EMU number 930201 stands in the down goods loop just west of Southampton Central. Scrapped in 2004, 930201 had a quite complicated history, starting life as cars from 2-EPB units 5782 and 5784 and originally allocated the number 017 in the departmental EMU series.
