I remember hearing a UK heritage railway song about dieselization but I can't find it anywhere. It went something like, "it looks like a bus and it runs on rails and the fares are twice as high. I can't even open the window to get some fresh air to my nose." Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for the blogs and keep up the good work.Bo from Missourihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10648604729057406013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-90081839624165913712019-02-11T20:18:25.767+00:002019-02-11T20:18:25.767+00:00What a fine award plaque, cast in brass, for the B...What a fine award plaque, cast in brass, for the Broadway Station rebuild.<br /><br />Will it be exhibited on the wall in Broadway Ticket Office, or on the wall in the Café?<br /><br />It is a fitting tribute to everybody at GWSR.

Given the task of re-creating a lost station, you have made something that has total authenticity and will look in years to come as if it has always been there. With your minimal use of professionals and your reliance on volunteer labour, both skilled and willing, when it is finished you can stand back and justly claim that 'we built it' and that it won the admiration of the entire heritage railway movement.Philip Pankhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05449146916595774000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-2965442498000300572019-02-11T10:04:52.299+00:002019-02-11T10:04:52.299+00:00Congratulations - it is very heartening to see all...Congratulations - it is very heartening to see all the efforts of you and all the other volunteers recognised in this way.

True there could never be any doubt as to who the winner would be but the need to keep it quiet is needed to get the world guesing! All this thanks to the volunteers, the supporters and the shareholders. Also not forgetting those who also just puting money in the boxes. So well done to all for producing the best heritage line in the UK.

Very well deserved.<br />It is one thing to restore an old station, because you can see where everything is.<br />It's quite another to revive one from, what was little more than plain track bed.
