what a great set of videos. Just watched them all. My dad worked for BR at Camden but I was a Southern Region fan, Used to regularly 'bunk' Nine Elms, Feltham, Eastleigh and Bournemouth and ride behind a steamer, hopefully a Bullied Pacific, to Bournemouth and back. Guildford was a favourite shed of mine sch a cramped and quirky layout. Nice to see a photo of M7 30320, the first M7 i saw and all thoseN's and U's. Thanks for sharing your life stories.
Thank you very much for sharing your memories , what’s an amazing memory you have. I also loved your references to the motorcycles that you owned. I have lived in York most of my life and have fond memories of long summer days spent Trainspotting. We used to have an unwritten rule that you couldn’t go home until you had seen 100 engines not including DMU,s this usually took between 8/9 hours. How the railways have changed, thanks again for sharing.
Entirely superb. I hope, again, that a set of books and other materials, be deposited at the Bishopsgate Institute Library in The City of London and, also perhaps, The People's Museum in Manchester. Perhaps another reflection on 'What Might Have Been and Why It didn't So Occur' might be undertaken . . .
Geoff, fantastic, I have so enjoyed your ut series. Have you ever considered a ut series regading your career st the ROTC at South Side?. My mentor and genius (Salisbury) Fred Johnson Don, Mick Oakley Tim , (Salisbury) Derek Gains and the cowboy tray song, who were Guildford stalwarts. It would be good to hear your take. Ian T.
Absolutely great set of videos………God bless Dai woodham

Hi Ian

Evening Star and Britannia were both born with a preservation order. 70000 was first seen at the Festival of Britain
What barbaric thuggery has been cast down on our Nation.
Heroically preserved, however. Thank-you all.
