Hello All Christmas is here again and on that subject I'd like to tell you about Christmas working on British Railways.

During the 1950s at Enfield sometimes we had to work on Christmas day.We were given double time and a day in lieu, not many people liked working on Christmas day but some did'nt mind.

The first train of the day left Enfield about 7am and the last train of the day arrived at Enfield about 4pm.Probably only four or five crews would have to work out of a total of forty.I worked Christmas day only once. It was an easy days work just two trips to Liverpool St.(that's only 40 miles total)
