Does anybody remember the South Yorkshireman? A train that ran from Marylebone to Bradford? I had been on duty for 12 hours at Wyke Signal Box when the train had to be held on signals due to difficulties in a snow storm. The train was held for 4 hours waiting a path. I remember making a pot of tea for a woman on the train! When we eventually got moving and I was able to close the box, I had been on duty for 15 hours. Like most people in those days we didn't have a telephone so my wife had no idea what had happened to me.
