LETTER:Time for romance
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr Michael Ricketts
Sir: The Brief Encounter clock has not returned to Waterloo (photograph, 13 January). The clock (which is two-sided) has never left Carnforth station, where it has languished since starring in the 1946 classic.
Carnforth, the location for many of the station exteriors, is no longer a romantic rendezvous, and the clock hangs forlornly, its hands frozen in time. Perhaps Railtrack will now consider restoring the Carnforth clock, and return to "Milford Junction" something of its former glory.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Ricketts
