Dear Occupants of Great Minster House.

This from Wales Online...

A civil servant in Whitehall was almost jailed in the 1970s for saving Aberystwyth’s train service and many others targeted for a wave of Beeching-style closures, it has been revealed.

That's the way to do it!

An incredible tale and unbelievably one that isn't dated the 1st April - read it!!

Good effort!!!

Nice.

Attached are two photos for Silver Stump Watch. At neither location could a vehicle ram into the station. 



 In fact at one, a car would have to negotiate two flights of stairs!
