SUMMARY:Midland Main Line miscellany - Phil Lyndsey
DESCRIPTION:Phil Lindsey takes us on a journey along the Midland Main Line from St Pancras to Ratcliffe on Soar\, with the main focus being the Northamptonshire and Leicestershire sections.  The presentation contains many of Phil’s own images\, from the ‘Leicester Gap’ years to the modern day\, but also draws on the extensive and historical Midland Railway Society archive of photos\, posters\, maps and timetables.  It’s a real eclectic mix of material that will hopefully be of interest to railway historians and enthusiasts of steam and modern traction alike.  There are several ‘then and now’ comparisons at locations en-route.  It’s not intended to be exhaustive and at times focuses on historical locations that are rarely covered elsewhere such as Welsh Harp\, Great Bowden\, Gumley and Newton.
