The light through the train room window plays magical tricks.

When I first saw the last post, I read "The same train with Charlie Marston's Yard behind"
as "The same train with Charlie Manson's Yard behind"! Really popped my eyes open this morning! (then I re-read it and saw my error).

Sometimes I have to read things a few times as well.
Edit. The times I tried to post before it did. Now it posts the lot!!!
David, another thread got me to thinking. I needed to comment on yours as well.
Great layout! I really enjoy the photos and the stories that often accompany them.

A parliamentary train is a passenger service operated in the United Kingdom to comply with the Railway Regulation Act 1844 that required train companies to provide inexpensive and basic rail transport for less affluent passengers. The act required that at least one such service per day be run on every railway route in the UK.

In the 1960s/70s the Post Office paid British Railways to run postal/parcel vans. One way British Railways could still run Parliamentary Trains cheaply was to pay the Post Office to attach a passenger carriage to a parcel van train.
Here is Class 47 47423 'Sceptre' on a York to Leeds Central parcel van train with a carriage attached.
