Steam World | June 2024
The “Golden Age” of British Railways wasn’t only about the incomparable network of steam services, the most complex and comprehensive anywhere in the world, but also the many service operations that were vital to keep the network running.
One of the most important, as it is today, is the Permanent Way Department although it was all done a lot differently then.
In the June issue of Steam World Malcolm Lobban tells of his career in the Permanent Way gangs – the camaraderie, everything done by hand and strong backs, the characters, brewing tea in a Tate and Lyle golden syrup tin and the exacting standards.
It’s a fascinating reminiscence and part of the rich history of British Rail steam.
Don’t miss out on this and plenty of other excellent features and many brilliant pictures in the June issue.
