    by Gordon Merrick Justice

  • Carnforth Station Briefly Encountered March 25th 2008 was the centenery and celebration of the life and work of Sir David Lean KBE, possibly one of the best, if not the best British Film Director ever. / / His career produced such classics as Lawrence of Arabia, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Doctor Zhivago and A Passage to India. He has been Widely acclaimed by such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick and George Lucas. / / Brief Encounter, made in the last year of World War 2 Britain (1945), is adapted from Noel Coward’s one act play, Still Lives, and tells the, then, unthinkable story of a housewife (Celia Johnson) for whom the discovery of the passion of real love (with Trevor Howard’s Doctor), as contrasted to her quiet conventional marriage, brings her to the very point of suicide. / / The story, predominately, centres on their meetings at the fictional, Milford train station which, in reality, was Carnforth Station located on the southern edge of Cumbria. This location was chosen because, although at the tail-end of WW2, a blackout was still in force in London. There were no such problems in the wilds of Carnforth, and the station was, at that time, a busy junction with plenty of trains thundering by. / / The film’s soundtrack prominently features the Piano Concerto No. 2 by Sergei Rachmaninoff and played by Eileen Joyce. / / The modern Carnforth station, almost unchamged, now boasts an impressive visitors’ centre. / / Lots of location information here / / This image is, clockwise from top-left: / 1 – the station refreshment room, lovingly recreated at the station because the film used a fictional London-based set. / 2 – The clock at the top of the ramp leading from platform 1 to platform 2. In the film the clock-facia was covered over and card-board hands were used to keep time continuity. / 3 – Rail-tracks, little changed from 1945, with the exception of the electric wires, which would whisk the two lovers together, and then apart. / 4 – A photo in the visitor centre, which shows a steam train of the era approaching the station. / / These photos were taken on 23rd March 2008 / / Image 1,2,& 3© PhotogeniquE 2008 / Image 4 © unknown all rights reserved. / This composite is not for sale.

  • The train from Palma to Sóller is an old tram-style wooden train. Whilst the route does take in some of the best views through the islands most beautiful valley, the flat wooden seats are slightly uncomfortable for the hour-long journey and the 10.40 train stops at a well-placed viewpoint offering ample opportunity for photography. / /
