South Western Railway

But that's probably the controversial one.

We're not going to accept that one because we think, Stephen and me, think that actually it was GWR station and really the designation of the up.

and downs on the LSWR from Salisbury kind of ended at the junction and even then such a short section the lines affect it's not really a four-track bit of railway it's bending around to Exeter Central so we didn't permit that one Nottingham, Mansfield Junction, the up Nottingham, fast towards London, down Nottingham, fast towards Nottingham, then the down slow Nottingham.

And who shall object except on the ground that Amy was too good to go? If Amy were put down now in Hyde Park, Piccadilly, or Regent Street, at the height and cream of the season, when fop and screw and fogey, frivolous and frivola, Diana Veneratrix, Copa Cyrisca, Aphrodite Mysothe, yea, and even some natural honest girls moderately ticketed, are doing their caravanning, if Amy were put on the pathway there, in her simple gray hat and feather, and that roundabout chenille thing which she herself had made and which followed the lines of her figure so, fifty fellows themselves of the most satisfactory figure at Drummond's or at Coot's, fifty fellows who had slipped the hook fifty times apiece, spite of motherly Bender Shaughnessy, must have received their stroke of grace and hated Craddock Knoll.

Although the South-Western Railway had been open so many years, our forest child had never been further from Greenleaf and Yellow Gorse than Winchester in the eastern hemisphere and Salisbury in the west.

And now, after all, to think that she was going to London, not for joy, but sorrow.

Desperate coaxing it had cost, every known or new device, transparent every one of them, as the pleading eyes that urged it, every bit of cosening learned from three years old and upward, every girlish argument that ever can hold water, unless it be a teardrop, and better than a million pleas, every soft caress and kiss, all loving, all imploring, there was not one of these but came to batter Amy's father, or ever he surrendered.

Shaftesbury residents hoping Dorset Council will take action over traffic problems they blame on the Manpits Lane bus gate are going to have to wait until the new year for answers.
