Oh, another thing. On the train coming back from the Lakes, saw a guy who was a dead ringer for one of the train drivers I worked with. Then I heard someone say "Didn't you used to be at Millerhill?", looked around, there was another ex Millerhill driver talking to him . . . . unbelievable! Two guys I hadn't seen for about 11-12 years, walked across and said "Is this a staff meeting?" The three of us rather ignored our other halves and chatted til Tony, got off at Carlisle, lives and works there now but spent the rest of the journey talking to "Reggie", his nickname was Reggie Kray because he was always talking about fights he got into
So the diesel and electricity were freely flowing on that journey then
