    Introduction

    By nomisd,

    My grandfather was a life long railway man. He started his working life on the LMS as a knocker upper in Watford in the 1930s. He worked his way up to a passed fireman and at the start of WW2 he was transferred to Wellingborough. He stayed in Wellingborough for the rest of his life, retiring as a driver in the early 1980s. After he died a couple of years ago, I inherited his ASLEF diaries for 1952 & 1953. In these he recorded every single turn that he did over those two years.
     
    I have mused for a while about what to do with these for a while. I have decided to put the information in the public domain via the medium of this blog. Whilst on the face of it, they are not immediately about modelling. However I think that they contain the sort of information that modellers will find useful. It is also a record that should be kept and be accessible to be used those interested in such things.
     
    A couple of notes about the entries. I have copied them verbatim. Each day is laid out the same - it starts with the day and date. The second column is the turn as he recorded in the diary. The third are times - I assume that these are his booking on and off times. The fourth are the locomotive(s) that he fired on the turn. For most Saturdays in the early part of the 1952 diary are the scores of the Wellingborough shed football team's matches (he very nearly became a professional footballer, having trials for a couple of London clubs but the war intervened - he played football well into his 50s and cricket into his 60s); I have included these as they are part of the "colour".
     
    So with out any further ado, January 1952….

    Musings

    By nomisd,

    Well thats it - 24 months of my grandfathers working life. One of the things that I found frightening as I went through it was how few days he had off. He averaged 5 days off month in 1952 and 6 days a month in 1953. Given the sort of work he was doing he must have beena fit man. I'm not sure that I would have been able to keep up that as a work schedule - have we become too soft? And did he ever get bored of going between Brent Yard and Toton?
     
    In the two years (putting aside that the many of the relief, disposing and shed turns don't record the locos he worked on) he worked on 325 different locos. These included 192 different 8Fs (about a third of the class), 63 4Fs, 34 3Fs, 18 Garratts, eight Crabs, seven Jintys, four 4Ps, three Super Ds, two each of Johnson 2Ps, Ivatt 4Fs, Jubilees and a single example of an Ivatt 2MT, Ivatt 2F, Johnson 1P and a Standard 4. Unsurprisingly the loco he worked on the most was Wellingborough's own 8F 48699 which he fired 16 times over the two years. This was followed by Garratt 47982 which he worked 11 times.
     
    To me there are three stand out turns from the everyday ones. The first 16th September 1952 when he took the Jubilee 45649 HAWKINS light engine to Derby. The second involves another Jubilee when on 18th November 1953 he took 45726 VINDICTIVE on a Preston to London train (I assume that this was a passenger train). The third is possibly the most interesting of all, when on 13th October 1953 he took Standard 4 75040 from Bedford to Leicester. Nothing especially out of the ordinary about this other than the loco was delivered new to Bedford on 31st August so it was an almost brand new loco. He doesn't appear to have a training course on how to operate it (unless that run was the training course!)
     
    Thank you for reading and I hope that you have found the information contained in these posts either interesting or even better useful.
     
    Cheers

    February 1952

    By nomisd,

    I have slightly changed the layout from the first entry. It is now day, date, booking on and off time followed by the turn then the loco. If more than one trip is listed they are shown in the order in the diary. I have put the day, date and places the turn was to and from in bold to make it a bit easier to read. I will go back and re-format the January 1952 to be the same at some point.
