BR traction instructor

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.

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.
