Grogley Work
Andrew Jones

Keith and Valerie, Please find attached photograph of the rebuilt Ruthernbridge Railway retaining wall adjacent the Nanstallon junction at Grogley. The council have done a very good job, with an additional wall protecting the road. Hopefully no one will damage the works as the road is now very narrow at this point. I think the original Bodmin and Wadebridge Railway Company would be very proud.
 
Best wishes Andrew and Diane.

Didcot
Please find enclosed a couple of pictures I took at Didcot Parkway yesterday. 60065, still in EWS livery, was stabled alongside the station. It was great to see it still in use in the old livery. 66074 was also stabled. 37612 came into the station on a Tyseley to Bristol test train. Regards, Dennis

New Website
Phillip Hadley
Greetings,
I am writing to tell you of the launch today of the website my 13 year old son has created for me as a portal to sell my books direct to my readers and to provide them with all manner of information on the locations and history behind them as well as a monthly blog to maintain interest between books. You'll also find news on forthcoming publications including a short Christmas story which should be available as an eBook in about 10 days time in time for this Christmas.

I think he's done a grand job, so take a look using the link below and feel free to pass it on via email, Facebook, Instagram, whatsApp or whatever social media platforms you use to anyone you think would be interested. Feel free to review it on your blog, post a link on your website, share it with family, friends, book circle, clubs & societies, etc. or pass the word on in any other way you feel is appropriate.

Take a look at the Shop section - you never know you may be able to tick someone off your present buying list!
As always - enjoy the read and thank you for your interest.
Yours sincerely,
Phil

Bristol TM Work going on on the frontage - a view dated 18th August 1985. Copyright Mike Roach,
Will see what I can do. Meanwhile I have just looked at Bristol TM for the first time and enclose one pic of the outside just in case its of any interest. The date is 18 August 1991 and the registration is C499BHY believed to be a Mercedes-Benz L608D.

Work going on to the station frontage.

Regards, Mike 
Many thanks Mike
