I was always interested in road transport. According to my mother, the first phrase I ever uttered from my pram was "Trams, buses, lorries" pointing to the Bristol Road out of Birmingham when she tried to take me for a walk in the opposite direction toward what were then open fields.
Until I was about 10, I was an avid bus spotter and then met a fellow bus enthusiast who was also a keen train spotter. He soon got me hooked which was in the last few years of steam and pre-Beeching I'm glad to say. I'm still interested in buses (and trams too) but my major interest for many years has been railways.
