I have in my old record collection an LP called "Railways Remembered - An Excursion into the past". I've always known there was an interview with an SMJ man but haven't heard it for many years - not having a record player any more.
But last night I had the opportunity to listen to it at a friend's house, and how fascinating it was. Basically it was the reminiscences of retired engine driver Bill Sylvester and porter Arthur Harris recorded on Stratford-on-Avon railway station in 1952, then a local train arrives and departs from the station.
Perhaps you know of this record already, but if not it is well worth listening to. I have no way of downloading it onto this site, but if anyone has any ideas or how it could be downloaded let me know.
Best regards, Jim.
