West Bay Station

Wow, interesting explanations and beautiful pictures...

Thank you very much Udo.
Sunday greetings.

Great shots from West Bay Rosa. The busy marina looks good with the calm waters and nice reflections. The picture of the beach and the dramatic cliffs is a cracker, the figures on the sands give a great reference to the height of the cliffs. The station looks really nice, and what a great use of the carriages. Do they sell the original BR cheese sandwich, I do miss them;-))

All the best, Doug

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I am still having problems focusing with my camera, so I wasn't happy with a lot of the shots, especially of the cliffs, but I have picked what I consider to be the better ones. Ha ha, they've gone a bit upmarket in these carriages since the BR cheese sandwich days Doug ;-))

Take care and have a good Sunday,
Rosa.

most beautiful
Happy sunday:)

Thank you Annemarie.

Thank you very much :)
Sunday greetings.

Good morning Rosalyn a nasty wet one I hope you have some sun, it's good see that the station is being preserved and used it's a shame that the train doesn't go anywhere, dinning car services on the GCR are very popular. I hope that the rest of your day is pleasant

Good morning Peter, it's a lovely sunny day here....maybe we will get the rain tomorrow! So many railway stations closed without a trace, like where I live. At least this one still has the building and it's made use of. Have a good day and I hope the weather is better tomorrow for you.

There was a railway here but it only carried granite from the quarry, the nearest station would have been Glenfield at the entrance to the tunnel which was the longest in the world when it opened in 1832

I love this little series............great to see the preserved length of platform and buildings, they look good and have a practical use as well. I also like your compostion.

The first PiP is lovely, especially in the sunshine. I like all the colourful little boats and the reflections. The second PiP is my favourite. Those magnificent cliffs really dominate that bit of the coast. Nicely composed with some people on the beach for scale.

Have a good day!

Thank you so much Keith. The diner seems to be very popular. I am pleased you like the little harbour and thank you for your kind comments on the second PiP. I have walked the length of the cliffs along the bottom to Burton Bradstock and they can feel very overpowering. I think it's best to walk along the top....but not too close to the edge!

Have a great day and good new week.

A beautiful series and the railway station looks impeccable. Did you try the diner?

Thank you George. It does look nice but I haven't tried the diner. My friend who I met there has tried it before and says it's very good.

Superbe image de la petite gare !
Bon dimanche. Amitiés

Thank you Madeleine.
Good evening.

Une belle petite ancienne, on en fait plus maintenant c'est bien de la avoir donné une nouvelle chance !****
Bon dimanche Rosa.

Sunday greetings Fred.

jolie série mon amie avec de belles explications intéressantes !
belle soirée mon amie Rosa !bisous

Thank you dear Angelique.
Sunday greetings....good evening.
Bisous.

La estación y vagón están bien compuestos, pero quizá poco nítida. Los otros dos PiP están bien enfocados. Me gusta la del puerto con el curioso edificio a la izquierda y sobre todo los reflejos de las embarcaciones, bien captados. El acantilado parece el monte cortado, está “firme” y espectacular, en su falda veo partes negras como pequeñas cuevas (?) Salud Rosa.

Yes you are right José Manuel, I am having problems focusing with my camera unfortunately. I deleted many of the pictures taken on the day. The building on the left in the first PiP, I think is a seafood restaurant and adjoined to it are flats. I don't think there are caves along the cliffs. They are quite unstable.
Good evening and good new week.

Wonderful photo.

Thank you Don.
Have a great week.

Wonderful series! Stay well!

Thank you William.
Have a good new week.

Hello Rosa, I really like all 3 of these shots, but maybe the main one the best....all are so well done. wonder what they serve at the Station Kitchen.:) enjoy the new week Rosa.
Best wishes, hope you are well and safe. Sarah

Thank you very much Sarah. They serve quite fancy food and it's not cheap, but they seem to do well. We are very well thank you Sarah. Take care and have a great week.
Best wishes, Rosa.

Wonderful picture of those cliffs and lovely train "restaurant".
All the place is one sweet museum of the recent past.
Full of charme.

|Thank you very much Jose.
The railway station takes us back to an earlier time, with a slower pace of life :-)
Take care and have a great new week.

Lovely series Rosa.
Have a nice week ahead.

Thank you very much Jaap.
Happy Monday.

Beautiful images. I thank you also for the text!
Stay safe and healthy, Rosa!

Thank you for your kind words Rainer.
Take care and have a great new week.

Hi Rosa
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
I have never been there, so I must now add it to the list!
You have tempted me with these pictures!
Best Wishes, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
It's a nice place but it can get busy in the summer.
I think you would enjoy the coves between West Bay and Weymouth.
Best wishes,
Rosa.

Wie aus einer anderen Zeit. Eine sehr schöne Serie, Rosalyn!

Thank you Wilhelm.
Have a good day.

Wonderful shots. The first PiP is my favorite (I wish I could see it really large :) )

Thank you very much. I have made the picture larger in PiP for you. I was having problems with the focus on my camera, so it is not as sharp as I would like.
Have a good day.

Such a charming little old station!

Thank you very much Berny.

De rijdende Keuken-makkelijk

:-))

I really like the idea of adapting two old carts to the kitchen! In this photo you can breathe the atmosphere of the old railway lines of the past.
All the best
Fabio

Thank you for your great comments Fabio.
It is a good idea and seems to have taken off. Even during lock-down they were doing take-away food.
All the best,
Rosa.

Ah!

The "Broadchurch" TV series: we really liked it!
And I find that this really atypical cliff has played a significant role in the interest of this series!

As for this small station and its "train", I love it !!!!!!

I didn't know "Broadchurch" was that widely seen Nouchet!
A lot of the town scenes were taken in Clevedon, Somerset.
It's fun to spot all the places we know, when they are filmed close to home :-))

Thank you for your kind comments and I am pleased you like these pictures.
Good evening.

Oh, I likes these series very much. What a fantastic preserved railway station. Really a nice idea. Good evening, Rosa !

Thank you for your generous comments Percy.
Much appreciated. Good evening.
