Smile Hi to you all.

Hi there. I have been a driver for 20 years and currently work for EWS. I have recently been chosen to train as a fireman for EWS's steam hauled services. So far I have had the pleasure of being on the test trip for 'Clan Line' and a VSOE steam hauled Kent lunch hauled by 'Tangmere'. I look forward to some interesting topics. Cheers and all the best.

Sure thing. They will probabley start the firemans course in the new year. The West Somerset Railway is the location that has been mentioned for a 2 week residential course. It maybe a while before I fire on the main, but will let you all know.

Hi Chris welcome to the Forum, it's a nice friendly group, I'm sure you will enjoy joining in some of the various discussions. I see you've worked for 20 years on the railway so hopefully we may all benifit from your experence, I worked on BR as a fireman for nearly 10 years.
Cheers Alan Locojoe.
