Happy Easter!
In this photo from 1980, Evening Star is heading out of York station on a steam special.
York station was rebuilt as a through station in the 1870s as the existing building—built in 1841 by G T Andrews inside the city's walls—had been too small, and many accidents had occurred.

My Dad was a British Rail chef. He worked the Royal Train a few times. Including the funeral of Lord Mountbatten.

Back in the early 70s my father, Peter Gadsden, was appointed as Royal Train Guard on the Western Region of B.R. (he was based in Paddington) and was Guard of the train that took Charles to his Investiture. Ironically he took on this position from a former passenger guard with the name of George Buckingham. I recall he had a special uniform for the occasions he did Royal Passenger Guard duties.

Victoria was a bit of a nervous traveller and didn’t like to go too fast. Edward VII, on the other hand, was like toad of toad hall: he liked trains, cars, yachts, and going fast!

Too bad Sophie’s a curator. She’s got such a relaxing voice and talks at such a nice cadence. She’d make a great Reddit reader
