I think this is just further evidence of the way this government just loves to punch down. "Disableds? Fuck 'em. It's not MY problem to pander to people's special needs"

These are all charging in an unused waiting room at my local station.
Assume they are some sort of battery powered … something! Any idea what they're used for as I know there’s a few railway industry alumni on here
There’s also a trolley in the same room presumably for transporting them to wherever they’re being used

I'll hazard a guess at something S&T related - possibly emergency power for the lamps in signals & connections to the signal [power] box.

Love that - reaction quite normal, even with railway-mad youngsters.
I've got a very similar shot of my younger brother, taken on the Bluebell when we were both still at school ...
Years later, he's still as railway-mad, despite working for various railway companies over the past several decades.

I'll 'ave a look later ...
There's a nice 'Deltic' in that shot.
My mind's ear is now reverberating to the sound of one of those.

i don't remember many women on the railways in that era, not in operational jobs that is. round my bit of S London, there were one or two who had gone on the railways in the (1939-45) war and stayed on, but don't remember seeing many younger women. from what i gather, the railways took quite a bit of dragging in to the later half of the 20th century...
