Will get around to describing my time on the railway but will probably have to start a new thread. The Silver Jubilee is something my Father often talked of. He worked on the LNER in the 30s' and 40s'. He told me how they would spend all night preparing the train and then when it reach Kings Cross the train had to be turned and then prepared again. Some Supermarkets have less in them than was in that kitchen car. When the train went through York at 11.23am and 8.06 (and a half pm) the driver would sound the whistle. The people of York were very impressed! John
