We went all over Cornwall that year by train and of course it was all steam.
In 1963 my family went on the overnight special from Hull Paragon to Paignton in Devon for a weeks holiday. I'd have been nearly 7 years old at the time, and it's my lasting regret that I wasn't interested in railways at all at that age. Imagine the memories I could've had now to look back on!
