1955 Strike
[QUOTE=Anon Mouse;40700 shame on the crew that worked the Flying Scotsman![/QUOTE]
Hi Anon Mouse not all footplatemen came out on strike as some were not ASLEF men and were members of the non striking NUR (National Union of Railwaymen) Having said that most NUR footplatemen came out with us. Any that did work were called scabs. I do believe that some higher grade manegerial staff worked some trains.(about time some of them got their hands dirty, not to mention them getting backache hehe)
