Hi Terry,
Have ya any Manchester /Leeds / Huddersfield /Stockport /ect ect ect ect
British Rail Steam from the 50`s
O by the way I am from Manchester way
I remember train spotting as a lad sitting on the bridge, legs dangling in to space watching the steamer go underneath me and getting an eyeful of soot BUT oooooooo the smell.
one of the few places I never got to in my trainspotting
days (the closest was probably Crewe), and unfortuntely
I was an 80's trainspotter so no steam (except for the
odd preserved loco)
I have a few pic`s from my mates back home, it must be a great ride.
A friend went home for a vacation and made a video from Piccadilly to Bury.
I worked for GMT at Hyde road for 15years. Then the SELNEC days
I left July 1980. well before Stagecoach took over.
I wonder if I would have had the chance to drive the Light rail if I had stayed??
