Loves to discuss Behind the Scenes…of Anything!!!
Borsetshire’s Pre-Grouping rail-lines- my ideas.

About 2 lines on either side.

A few sidings and a basic shunting yard.

1-2 of GWR’s signature Panniers kept in the area.

What do we think? Terminus or no Terminus?

#TheArchers
Thanks.

I now want to make some mental fanfics about what the pre-Grouping rail-line would have been.
I think it wouldn’t have been anything special tbh, just a simple passenger line with a basic shunting yard.

I remember my first Christmas lights switch on in #TheArchers in 2020; a then-Silent Chelsea called Tracy to tell her that Silent Brad had vomitted due to drinking Jazzer’s home brew…..

Ooh, what are the odds the next word out of Lawrence's mouth would have been a racial slur?

@keridavies.bsky.social please can I ask you a few things?

(About railways): which one of the ‘Big Four’ railway companies served Borsetshire back in the day?

And: where did Beth Casey go after storming away from Vince in 2022?

(Both of these are just my own curiosity).

There was a SL around the time Freddie and Lily became proper adult speaking characters in which David and Kenton had a bet to try and get a Pargetter twin past the driving test:

Freddie was calm and patient.

Lily was apparently rather chaotic.

He’s off to apply for Meadow Farm’s tenancy….but first he needs to wait for Esme to actually finish the there.

It occurred to me yesterday that this year has had a rather high body count with 4.

So far we’ve had:

Frank (Silent, friend of Leonard).

Peggy Woolley.

Ash (Silent, singer for Dross).

Mulligan (Silent, found dead in his milking parlour).

Have we ever had more or this a record??

Joy’s daughter Rochelle appeared last Christmas, caused some problems then left. Then returned and despite being Vegan decided to work at Vince’s……
