006 and 007 both out of service again yesterday, with suggestions that they
won't be returning to service before the official end date of 3rd Jan. So it looks possible that 28/12/20 was their last day. Anna Noyd-Dryver |

Anna Noyd-Dryver Out of habit I take a look at the webcam each morning that looks at Ryde Esplanade station at the time a train is due as on occasions as despite the traffic reports saying there is no service and replacement buses being there a service has run. This morning the train is operating again. Webcam here https://youtu.be/34YMtblpGaE GH |

I did find some of my own photos taken on that in its last year of operation and what struck me was how much more of the original interior of that stock survived with glass lampshades and filament bulbs for the lighting, leather straphangers etc. While the 1938 stock has been feted recently the excellent refurbishment done for their Island role went much further and the interiors ended up more like a spruced up version of the 59 /62 stock rather than the ambience they had when in London.

GH Strange, it was working last night but not this morning! It was a Railway Roundabout clip in, I recall, 1962 so very much in the steam days. However, a search this morning cannot find that particular episode, but many other episodes are on-line. -- Colin |

Ta, Somewhere I have collection of DVD’s with many of the Railway Roundabout presentations on it, though I am old enough to remember them being transmitted on the TV it wasn’t till I purchased the DVD set I realised the production team had the foresight to record a a good proportion of their material in colour , must dig them out again and run through them.
