Railworld Welcomes You

No expense has been spared in creating this unique visitor attraction. Fun and education all rolled into one package. Contrary to appearance, this place is actually open for business. You actually have to pay to go and have a look round the old railway tat. Now, i know what you're thinking, but I didn't pay to go in. It didn't appear to be open today in any case. Funny thing is i've always seen signs for this place but just assumed that it was a defunct and closed down ancient visitor attraction. It may well be defunct and shite but apparently people do come visit. They even have a website www.railworld.net

This appears to be a chunk of some kind of monorail which probably never saw service and now sits in this forgotten corner of nowhere in particular, idling away its days standing guard over an empty parking lot.

Heading away now from super duper railworld towards the real reason i came to this sorry end of town. I remember there being some pretty sick graf up under the old railway arches. I remember it from when i was a kid.

But no; it appears that the buff have been busy here lately. Doesn't it look much better all painted grey though. Nice and conservative

This is all i found here, on some fencing surrounding some kind of housing/office development. Private property you see. The council won't buff that. Not their responsibility i suppose.

that concrete lozenge wedged between the arches looks bizarre

jamie: 19th Sep 2005 - 09:57 GMT

lozenge; the one word in the english language which rhymes with orange.

Ok so i'm here at railworld. Nothing much has changed and i'm somewhat disappointed.

i'm not sure whether this is a threat or a statement of fact.
