Have just discovered your brilliant web
sight and I am so happy to see stuff that I was associated with many years ago.
I worked at Monument Lane Loco from 1953 to 1961 starting as a cleaner and
finished up as a top link fireman.
Thanks for a great web site - Brian

What a fabulous site! I live in Wrexham,
North Wales & I'm an LNER & GCR fan!
Michael Cawood
Great site...
Bob Elleray
Great work! This website resource gets
better every time I visit and I still keep stumbling across new and interesting
sections to while away the hours.
Andy Doherty
Great site with some wonderful
photographs. A useful addition would be some maps showing the locations of
closed lines and stations, as I enjoy visiting these sites.
Matthew Jones
What a fantastic archive, good to see so
many familiar places and names so accessible to a Leamingtonian exiled in
County Durham. Long may you grow & continue.
Anthony Coulls
What a fabulous website I think you have
all created. Well designed, informative, easy to use, packed with top class
pictures.

What a great website, Mike! Well
done!

An excellent website which brings back
memories of my time living in Coventry and formerly working for British Rail in
the West Midlands. I look forward to spending more time browsing through it in
the future.

What a superb site! I look forward to
seeing it grow. Have you considered a mailing list (a Yahoo Group, to which
only you can post, for instance) to announce updates?
You list Perry Barr as: Perry Barr
(Warwickshire?) Though once in Staffordshire, it became part of Birmingham (and
thus Warwickshire) in 1928, as did Hamstead (also known as Great Barr) on the
Grand Junction line to Walsall, via Bescot.
For other boundary changes, see:

The stations from Longbridge to Kings
Heath, which you list as Worcestershire, came into Birmingham, and thus
Warwickshire, in 1911:

There were extensive industrial railways
at Cadbury, Bournville and Saltley Gas Works, and at the M&B Brewery at
Cape Hill (In Staffs, but may have crossed into Warks). There was a
narrow-gauge railway at the Minworth sewage works.

Like the site - been photographing at
Leamington recently and wanted to see the old Avenue station
Cheers, Dave Skipsey
Thanks for an excellent web site!

Very interesting site; I have referred to
it extensively for research into the prototypical background my O Gauge garden
railway based on the (fictional) assumption that the LMS developed the
Stonebridge Railway - Whitacre - Hampton - after grouping with the Berkswell -
Kenilworth line as a cut to send coal from North Warwickshire.
Michael Byng
An amazing collection! The geographical
organisation makes this site especially interesting; thank you for letting us
look.
Robin Leigh
Hi Mike. Fascinating site. As someone
born and bred in Warwickshire it was great to see some of the local history. Is
that all the photos you have (especially of Rugby and area inc Wolston and
Marton)?
Si
Great Site!

An excellent site. Just spent a happy half hour browsing
round. A great idea to link your photos to a route map of the lines in the
area.

Great site - I could spend hours trawling through the site.
Having grown up in the West Midlands in the late 1950's, the website brings
back many memories and an insight into those areas that I didn't see. I shall
be a regular visitor to the site.
Regards John Crompton
Hello. Nice looking site. Excellent information
which is nicely structured. Good job.. keep it up. Congratulations to the
entire team!
Best wishes from New York.

Wow! What a site. Excellent! I have spent
some time researching my local station and looking for photo's of Rugby. I was
unable to source any from local archives reference Rugby Shed; until now.
Ian Dunn
Hey Mike...Very nice site. I have
forwarded the address to a few friends that have an interest in UK railroads.
There was always something I liked about the British system of railroads but
could never quite identify. Perhaps browsing your web pages will help me to
figure it out. There is one thing I do know and that is the respect I have for
the preservation efforts made to save your railroad history. Sadly, in general,
such is not the case in the USA…
Tom
What an amazing site - well done! This
site is full of information that I've been wanting to know for ages.

has strong feelings for my old town where I first lived!)
