to the left of the drainpipe was the control cabin, up a couple of steps and the entrance to a permanent myth card school, just below the cabin to the right was the bosses office, I was an unwelcome guest in there a couple of times with my old control mate Harry Heyes, notably one in which we were accused of stopping the stranraer express, and finished up going to Lime street to face a inquiry board, we walked away with a smile on our faces, no ay could you get beyond Harry where the rule book was involved, older employees may still recall the time.

It would take 45 min to prep a black 5 for this job i can still remember, harry would know this and its his right to take this time to prep his engine for such an inportant job Then to send him to liverpool to face an inquirey another days work lost good old Harry they were mates in them days
