"I feel like I am one big, strange quirk most of the time, but we all are really, aren’t we, and I’m comfortable with that"
1 What is your earliest railway memory?
Seeing ‘A4’ Sir Nigel Gresley at Loughborough station on the Great Central Railway, our local heritage line. I would have been only four or five years old at the time.
2 What is your most memorable train journey?
A round trip on the North Norfolk Railway – it was just a regular weekday service in October, but for me it was the start of a memorable weekend away with my dad and brother to celebrate Dad’s 70th birthday.
