Guys and Gals

I was up at Oughtibridge on Saturday and i noticed that Oughtibridge Stationhouse has got fencing up around it and upon closer inspection it seems it is being convereted into a dwelling? Can anybody shed any light on this? I thought that the Don Valley Railway folks had got their eye on purchasing this station in line with their plans for the railway line??

Any info to satisfy my curiosity would be great!

I walked past bank holiday monday after taking the dog in the crags, I don't know what they are doing to it though, I just hope the housing development people aren't demolishing it, its lovely!

I fancied living in one of those 1920's signal boxes. Problem is - they are usually slap band in the middle of a junction somewhere with no non-PTS access :(

Maybe we could just replicate one somewhere :D

I wonder where you can get curved glass these days? :confused:
