From British Rail to Freightliner: A Train Driver’s Story and other Anecdotes 1984-2022 by Tim Mallion.
Drawn from a collection of diaries and memories, this is the story of a schoolboy who turned his deep fascination with the railway into more than 34 years of train driving.
Both witty and self-deprecating, the author takes us on journeys around East Anglia from his British Rail depot in Ipswich, where both Intercity and freight work are recalled. He then tells of the enormous changes privatisation brought, which saw him regularly working trains to Birmingham, Crewe, Doncaster, Leeds and Teeside.
He chases Tornado, suffers locomotive fires and recalls stories of runaway trains and rhubarb!
