I am 72 and did 37 years in 11 different jobs. I started as a Signal Box Lad, then a Guard at Manchester Victoria, moved to Manchester Piccadilly going to Euston 3 days a week, the other days were 4 trips to Glossop or 3 trips to Buxton or Liverpool or Chester or Sheffield Midland. On 3rd January 1977 I moved to Machester Control working my way from Assistant Controller working through grades A,B,C,D and E and then in May 1994 I moved into Management and retired in March 2007 in Middle Management.
Great video! You really captured why it's so important for drivers to have great route knowledge when its foggy like the start of your video was, though It's one of my favourite conditions to drive trains in really puts my route knowledge to the test! Liked and subscribed :)
Donny's my favourite, one of those consistently good places since I was a kid. Want to go and check out Barnby Dun crossing, looks like a great place to film. Got a trip planned to do an overnighter for a vid soon!
Fantastic quality video of a very busy line 👍🏻 In 2022 my wife and I bought a new build house at Barton north of Preston with the West Coast main line in the back garden 🪴 😄
