BR traction instructor

BR footplate crew 1985-92, Passenger/parcels/freight driver off Piccadilly 1987-89, Heavy freight driver off Buxton 1989-92. Full time traction instructor 1992-94. Chief Traction Inspector Transrail from 1994. EWS Infrastructure controller/North West controller until 1999. Freightliner control staff until 2016. 22 years of the beancounters railway was 22 too many…happily retired and about to relocate to the seaside.

BR operating practices/publication details can be diverse/complex and often have little or no bearing on model railways, however, I’ll offer up any content that can help modellers, for discussion or comment.
