These goldfish bowls were used at the tail end of the FL , but this is before my time on the railway.
I have been told of the ride of these gold fish bowls by older hands when I went to HM.
I saw the bowl at FL as we had a regular shunt job at the FL Terminal for 12 years,
SO at 1600hrs at the Mill sign off at 23:59hrs back at HM and so at 23:30hrs to 0800hrs. Mon to Fri.
On the 1600hrs turn you could be away home at 2000hrs all week.
All depended on the arrival of 4L 52 from Thornaby.
