Trains On Stamps

Londonbus1 - The Watercress line runs from my town so I was surprised to see that cinderella sheet. I must look out for it or ask some of the guys I know who work there ;)

Here are a few more.

Great selection Anthony !

Here is a Sheet issued for the Centenary Philatelic Congress of Great Britain in 2009.

The Liverpool-Manchester Railway was opened in 1830 with a great fanfare and a procession of some grand locomotives including Stephenson's Rocket. However, tragedy was to mar the opening ceremony. A Liverpool MP, William Huskisson, while trying to cross from his carriage aboard the Northumbrian to meet the visiting Prime Minister, the Duke of Wellington was knocked down by the Rocket coming fast on another line.
He was badly injured in the leg and died later that day through loss of blood. George Stephenson himself drove the train that took him for treatment.
The Liverpool-Manchester Line was a great success story of British Railways.

Austria 1987 first day cover I received free with a lot of stamps today.
Anyone who wants it free drop me a line and I will post / mail it postpaid (free) worldwide.
Cover is somewhat damaged with bends / creases lower left corner (large) and upper right corner (small), stamp is unaffected. Could be pressed out perhaps???
