tooSavvy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I may have mentioned this B4 🤔 When the Central Mway was built, long B4 Metro, some large cement voids were incorporated into the substructure = eventually they were broken open to let track run through 🚉 chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Yep - incorporated into the tunnels from Jesmond through Monument to Central Station. Nice bit of integrated forward planning. Jim Bell, Nullzwei and tooSavvy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabooka Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Old buses really are a thing of beauty. That No 1 was my old route back home, in that direction, although mine were more modern Atlanteans (?) in the main. I’m sure the Tyne and Wear Omnibus Corp (?) which was a short lived driver owned cooperative used singles decers like that, in blue and white. tooSavvy and Jim Bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
