The Calder ^ Hebble Navigation. The Navigation Inn is on the left just through the bridge. The lock is Broadcast Top Lock. Its very easy to get your tiller caught under those walkways if you are distracted by gongoozlers.

That's me out, then. I thought it was a tube train.

The train is a Northern clas 150.

Nearly. Either you've spelt the name of the lock wrong or Peter Marsh has.:)

That's the answer to a 1000 pub quiz questions, where to London Underground trains run over the sea?

Its a scary ride, I reckon the track was laid in the days of steam trains chugging along at 15 miles an hour and the old underground trains went much much faster, its amazing they stayed on the rails. The bit of that line that is now a steam railway is wonderful, a proper branch line where they still rattle along at a fast walking pace.

Especially if your boat is 60ft

My wife lived on the IoW for many years and was a potter, the Havenstreet station craft fair was one of the highlights of the year.

What with the railway context of the topic, I misread that as "a porter".

If you look at the pre 1967 timetables, you find that the services were faster under steam.

Easy, peasy!

 

(But then we live there)

 

Get that 1938 stock while you can.

 

The line is closed from the start of January to be reopened at the end of March with new stock.

 

(Well new for us but refurbished 1978 stock really)

At least it is now postwar stock, next time round it will be 21st century stock in 2045
