If you did give Alan a wave, he probably wouldn't have seen you, we was always too damn busy on them.

I didn't fire to any A4 except to take one down the station from 'Top Shed', but I did fire all the other 'coal-scoffing' b,stards at Kings Cross.

Hello Dave well I can't really confirm it wasn't Mallard that did the 126mph record but 'Silver Fox' using 'Mallard's plates. Why would Gresley and the LNER staff want to do that.
Your right about the hard graft Dave especially on the climb to Potters Bar. not a lot of time for waving on that bit eh.
