Secondly, I've been meaning to post some bad news on here for a while. Basically as part of TPE's refurbishment of Middlesbrough station (which is in the main a good thing)the map I referred to in a previous comment in 2008 has been removed. Does anyone know where it might have gone. I hope it hasn't been destroyed as I'd have had that! The tiled mural of the North Eastern Railway (a number of which still exist across the region) remains as it is more obviously an item of beauty and value, but it's a shame when more recent items are removed simply because they are, well, a bit out of date. Something that's a bit out of date now will be an item of interest and value in a few decades' time.

I remember a couple of ladies from my visists, what was your grandma called?

I always knew the exchange building as the Bodega--my Grandma apparently worked there at some time in the distant past.
