Manchester Victoria, 20 August 1999. Driver Roy Smith, ex Springs Branch, Southport, loco instructor / inspector and finally a manager on Merseyrail. After retiring returned to driving for a private company. When in the cab as a loco inspector would always want to drive the train, he would drive a herd of cattle if he could. A true gentleman and railwayman , sadly no longer with us. Tom. -
