This book traces my unique railway career from cleaner to driver, working for two different railway systems that were quite literally worlds apart; the now defunct broad gauge railways of South Australia and the West Anglian Railways of Great Britain. It spans the twilight years of steam working, cleaning these locomotives at Mile End in Australia in 1969, to working at Britain's largest diesel depot at Stratford in East London, to the modern-day driving of the electric Stansted Express airport service. I give a critical appraisal regarding the changes in working practices with the introduction of Driver Only Operation, sentiments that were shared by many who experienced the drastic changes that were made to accomodate the privatisation of British Rail. Foreword by the ex-General Secrtary of ASLEF, Lew Adams OBE. Due out in early January.
