General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Aitch,

Your message is very sad and has made me realise that life is very short and that you should make the most of the time you have with your family. I am lucky in that i have a wonderful Wife and 2 children. That said, my boys are already growing up and are increasingly less reliant on their Dad to keep them company.

I, like you, worked at Springsbranch. I was an apprentice in the early to mid eighties and have some very fond memories of the friends i made during that time. Although i still work on the Railway, there doesn't seem to be the characters around as there were in the past. I decided tonight to see how many names i could remember. To my suprise i listed over 60 names from 25 years ago.

I was on Ince Moss a few months ago and made a point of riding over the main line to have a look at the depot. It was quite sad to be honest to see it in its current state. That in itself made me feel old!

Anyway, Thanks for your thoughts and keep the messages coming.
