I joined the railway in 1979, excuse the pun here, trained as a guard and worked my first train being a dmu on 12th March 1980 from King's Lynn to Cambridge bearing NSE Livery. I didn't like them too much, yet thinking back, they were comfy seating wise.
Yesterday when driving near Ely, I saw 3 enthusiasts at a crossing and so enquired if a 'Special' was due through, but they had just photographed a couple of units. Me? I would rather photograph class 66 loco's, but each to our own.
