    Preston Railway Station Branded As Outdated And Inadequate

    Not fully as the decision to build the monstrosity was also based on the pretence that it offered better road access for buses, namely the ring road development and that Tithebarn st bus station was small & outdated. Your suggestion that the land was owned by councillors was a factor would be...

    Preston Railway Station Branded As Outdated And Inadequate

    Preston council missed a major opportunity to build the bus station next to the railway when the EL goods warehouse & EL/Southport platforms where closed. The council are not noted for their far sightedness, especially today when the leader of the council is determined not to have trams back...

    Government Seeking Ways to Reverse Some Beeching Cuts.

    And on BBC North West twitter feed Colne-Skipton and Preston-Fleetwood lines were quoted as “must open” lines. I mean really, SELRAP is just an impressive “talking shop” and nothing of note ever seems to get done. And if they bothered to check they would have realised the Fleetwood link was...

    The sight of double-headed 50’s at Preston waiting to take over from the electrics. Sat on a brute at the end of Preston station on a Sat, complete with the obligatory Ian Allan, pair of binoculars and sandwiches, peering through the heat haze at Skew Bridge a mile or so away trying to be the...

    Alsthom to close Strand Rd plant in Preston

    Amazing history of this site, producing everything from steam & electric trams to electric shunters for the army in Flanders, right through to work for the prototype Deltic and all sorts of electro-mechanical work/engines etc. Not forgetting also, the famous Dick,Kerr ladies football team. My...

    Possible eviction

    First your friend needs to go through her rental agreement and see what exactly are the landlords option(s) for repossession, it's possible there maybe a legal "flaw" in the clauses of the agreement (especially if it hasn't been written by a solicitor. Whatever communication, both to and from...

    Ian Brady has died

    There is a very good article about Brady from former BBC news reporter Peter Gould who has 300 letters from Brady. It's on the BBC news website titled "Ian Brady Letters - Inside the Mind of the Moors Murderer" (sorry haven't got a link) I cannot begin to understand the torment Keith Bennett's...

    Well that went well, we gave Newcastle 4 easy goals, 3 down to stupid self inflicted mistakes and 1 down to a good save.......by our captain ! We could have been 2 up ourselves, Newcastle were edgy even after going 1 up, but still congrats to them on getting promotion

    Tonight could be interesting, we go into the match with Newcastle, with no first choice centre half, injured, any right backs at all, injured or suspended ! one of our best midfielder players suspended. On the positive side, we got pace up front and in McGeedy probably the best winger in the...
