Hi, All!
My transport enthusiasm is born out of childhood holidays when I travelled from Gosport on the South coast to Maltby near Rotherham. We used the Portsmouth Harbour ferry, SR electrics, London Tube, LNER blood & custard stock, Doncaster trolleybuses, East Midland Chocolate & cream buses, Rotherham trolleybuses and Sheffield trams! For me a veritable feast!
I joined the Tramway Museum Society in 1964 and have worked there ever since, but I have always had an interest in railways.
Now I'm coming up to retirement in 2008 and hope to look at railways more closely.
I'll be starting in April with a Welsh railway holiday package taking in Teifi Valley, the Gwili, the Ffestiniog and Tallyllyn. It looks like a good way to start. You can find it at
www.railwayholiday.net .
With my wife I've attended writers holidays organised by the same guy, Gerry Hobbs, and they've always been excellent. I don't think she'll be coming with me in April!
Looking round the web site has been fascinating, with so many people answering questions for others. How generous of you! I look forward to regular visits!
Best wishes to you all,
Malcolm Chisholm
