Well i was having a mooch round the web and stumbled on this little new publication:

It is literally right up my street becuse our house is built on the disused railway 4ft below my backside is the trackway.

I mentioned it to the missus "oh yes i have seen it in the post office but i didn't have any cash on me" :???:

Well its ordered and i am getting giddy.

Pete, you better watch out for the "ghost" trains running then.

I wish Ron, i actually feel guilty about living in a dwelling built on the track, especially as it would of been a strong candidate for re-instatement. There is talk of where the trackway is unhindered in Preston of building a tramway which is very feasible.

Digging in the garden hasn't reveiled much other than the odd lump of coal or ballast no sunken Class Fives yet! I shall keep digging.
