					<description><![CDATA[I finally found a good quality version of this old postcard of Birkirkara station on the Malta Railway. I&#8217;ve had one version of it for many years, but it was heavily retouched by the publisher, and not very reliable in the details. The card was posted in 1914 and shows the station after rebuilding in [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s pretty extraordinary that around 60% of the trees in Birkirkara&#8217;s station gardens survive from when they were first planted by the Malta railway over a century ago. They were originally introduced along station platforms to offer shade for passengers waiting for trains, but later, the embellishment of the stations with elaborate garden planting, was [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is a view I’ve seen before, but only ever as a printed postcard. Here is a copy of an actual photographic version of the view towards the back of Birkirkara station platform through the famous public gardens. The date’s uncertain, but likely to be around 1915. The photographer is standing almost beside the station [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Timmy Zammit and I have been chatting about the signals on the Malta Railway. There were supposed to be two, one each on Harmrun and Birkirkara stations. These two stations were where trains heading in opposite directions most often passed each other. A contemporary description says the one at Hamrun was attached to the station [&#8230;]]]></description>
