"The former platforms at Droxford, 2016" picture
editSo do the "former platforms," four-foot, etc., basically constitute the house's back garden? I assumed so (?) and that in this picture they are having an open day perhaps? >SerialNumber54129...speculates 10:43, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes to both. If you look at the Flickr album from which those photos came it's more obvious, but I intentionally selected photos which didn't have crowds of people blocking the view, and which didn't confuse the issue by showing the the new building which has subsequently been tacked on (see here for example; the long low building is the former station, the taller part is the former stationmaster's house, and the part on the other side of the stationmaster's house (e.g., the bit that doesn't have a platform canopy, with the "Colman's Starch" sign) is a new building that's been built next door. ‑ Iridescent 16:36, 21 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks very much, makes sense. Leads me to ask about the picture...I'll do so elsewhere :) ...SerialNumber54129...speculates 16:14, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Pacerailer
editI've split Pacerailer into a separate article, so that it can be expanded with technical details and so on. It's probably worth reducing the detail in this article. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:11, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
