When I was there the depot was part of the largest rail freight company in the UK, there were around eighty drivers based there. The company is now a shadow of its former self and nothing more than a minor player in a market it once ruled . . . . why? Sheer ineptitude and bad management!

At least you have your memories of the place to treasure Steve.

Always sad to see once former great industries wither and die

Was more to do with it being my day off today and had to be out and about early to help a friend. Thought i might as well give it a quick once over as it looked like a nice day and it was still in shade when i got home.. As i say utterly predictable. It certainly wont be getting another before Sunday regardless now. Still pouring it down here.

Had some serious laughs, especially back in the BR days, the industry was full of characters. Unfortunately 99.9% of said laughs are unrepeatable, try to tell them with "acceptable" language they completely lose their effect.
