I think this is the last journey of the “Mumbles Train”.
Saw it on Facebook.

More images and video.

Not so much “vintage” but nostalgic.
Home. No, not the prison before you say anything.
Fabulous photo, not mine, but thanks to Peter Morgan. I hope he won’t mind me posting this, if so I’ll take it down.

Victoria station and Mumbles train shed still there but tracks missing.
Anyone spot their house? My old school is there.
East bank railway sleepers at the Vetch.

Seeing Squeeze as the support act on the poster and that other posters on the wall mention Hackney & other Londony type places, I think that poster would have been for The Tubes show in 1977 at Hammersmith Odeon as it was still then known. Iirc, I think they may have done 2 nights there which were recorded and became the What Do You Want From Live double album released in '78. I was at one of those shows and it was the first time I'd seen The Tubes live and it still goes down as one of the best live shows I've ever been to.
