Hm181 -- yes Dave Court certainly did have a great route card. Dave and "Big Nev" great Steam men !! Loved having a few beers with them both, great guys.
Re NP Route Cards. Some guys were recruited because of the Route knowledge and this was kept up in quite a bizarre way. If for example a guy signed Ferrybridge to West Burton then every few months he would come in on a day when not involved with Power station Coal transport and take a light loco out for a spin over the route after getting permission off RailTrack.
