Reminds me of going to school on the train though our line was electrified the train before mine was steam.  Used to watch them filled up the water every day. 

Reminds me too of all the allotments all along the sides of the tracks.

Thanks for the link Jim,

I noted that it is currently closed but is doing a Santa thing in December for the kids.

Not a bad idea for those with kids to go for a bit of something different.

Will check out the site later on or go to the tourist information for updates on when it opens up for a look around.
