Rats And Semaphores Shrewsbury July 1983

            25251 and 25287 stand at Shrewsbury with the 07.44 to Aberystwyth on the 30th July. Half a dozen of us peak bashers had booked a caravan for a week in Rhyl following the introduction of booked class 45 workings on the  North Wales line. For some reason we travelled up from the westcountry to Crewe and took the 02.04 mails to Shrewsbury for a 4 hour plus fester in the waiting room. These were the days when BR had a number of late night mail  and parcels trains criss-crossing the country with a few passenger coaches attached. Hence the all night open waiting rooms to attempt some doss. Anyway the rats were duly thrashed to Machynlleth for DMUs to Minffordd for the Festiniog Railway to Blaneau and onwards to Rhyl.
