|  Single track branch line to Ayot, Wheathampstead, Harpenden East and Luton Bute Street (line closed 1965). I understand that the writer George Bernard Shaw was a 'regular' on this line as he lived at Ayot St Lawrence, near Ayot and Wheathampstead stations. |   Chells809 | Thursday 24th of October 2013 09:38:29 PM | 
|  Is this a Gresley A4 pacific streamliner heading north on the down main line. The carriage appears to have some sort of nameboard above the carriage windows so could this be a 'titled' train? |   Chells809 | Thursday 24th of October 2013 09:35:31 PM |
