Title: Evening all... Post by: inspector_blakey on December 06, 2008, 17:06:39 Please be nice to me, I'm new.
Been reading the board for a while and decided it was time to get involved a bit. I'm a research scientist living in Oxford during the week and use FGW a fair bit (mainly at weekends) for travelling to and from Bristol and west Wales. I'll confess now that I'm a heritage railway guard and secondman ("Ooh, you get to work with proper trains, locomotives and mk Is" as an FGW senior conductor once said to me with a wistful look in his eye, I must have been travelling on an Adelante) and therefore a bit of a crank :-[ But don't let that put you off... Title: Re: Evening all... Post by: Timmer on December 06, 2008, 17:50:58 And a very good evening to you too inspector_blakey. Welcome to the forum.

Title: Re: Evening all... Post by: inspector_blakey on December 07, 2008, 20:52:33 We certainly do - our rulebook still even contains the magic words "the guard is in charge of the train". Just be grateful though that you only have a driver to convince that you're in charge and not a fireman as well... ;)
