I don't really remember when it started, it must have been long before I started school in 1950. The family always travelled by train when it was imperative to keep an important appointment. In those days most public transport around Lancaster was heavily used, and although the bus services were generally good, my dad always said "Buses can leave you behind, but you can always get on a train".
It has simply grown from there. Of course it always helped that several relatives and neighbours worked on the railway.
