    Interesting question. Will the rest of the 1950s be reintroduced at the same time? :)

    no but I would be contacting the BR management about a bunch of 101 DMU's that I just happen to be part owner of to see if they would be interested in running them :rolleyes:
    cheers

    Only if you get six weeks paid holiday and every other weekend off. Plus a starting salary of 30k a year.

    Common sense was the order of the day then, it was a job requirement. Sadly common sense died a long time ago.
    How many of todays young people could get out of bed at all hours and KNOW it was going to be a hard 10/12 hour shift.
    I'm too old and creaky now, but I'll join the queue, I'll be the tea boy.:)

    Na, nowadays you'd have to do a degree at the "University of Vaguely Southwest of Watford" and finish up with a 20K student loan before you were eligible for a cleaners job.
