Thanks John!
The world is even smaller than you thought! My Grandma lived in Bardolph Street and my Dad worked at the Shell & BP Depot in Catherine Street which was served by the GNR line. My parents lived in Ashleigh Road when I was born (the Burton Line embankment was at the bottom of the garden) and then I lived in Wyngate Drive until I was sixteen (with the Burton Line at the top of the road, as you probably know) and left Leicester for Devon .
