Hi Mike welcome to the forum.

I was also a fireman at Enfield and Kings Cross 1950/60s.

Hello Mike. Hope you enjoy the forum.
Look forward to hearing about your time on the railways.

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum. Ex-Saltley men have a reputation for having great stories to tell. We look forward to hearing some...

Hello Mike I knew you would join the Forum and yes Foghut you will get some great stories from him I have known him almost 30 years now. All the best.

Welcome to the forum, Mike.

Welcome to the forum Mike.

I've read of the reasons that Saltley men were known as 'seagulls'...is it true?:D

Ripple Lane men were known as pathfinders.

Hi all and thanks for the welcome.
I`ve never been referred to as a seagull! So I can`t tell you if the reasons are true or not. You`ll have to enlighten me. And I ain`t dead yet!

Hello Mike, have a look at Ian White`s gallery, there you will see a photo of 47306 with the Saltley Seagulls headboard on the front. Ciao.
