Saltley Tales

Strongly rumoured that when Neil Armstrong landed on the moon in 1969 there was a Saltley man there to relieve him.
I wish I had a pound for every hour I spent in that mess room.

You got that one wrong, Healey Mills men were booked onto conduct them to the moon and back. (On their restdays)

If you do not know where the Mill is I recon you must have a poor route card.
Healey Mills in its heyday was the Premier Depot in the UK, but alack and alas it is now the finest place for overgrown railways, with the echo's of days gone by.

Who remembers using the NRN cab radio as a CB radio between drivers in BR days? Big fun! I was a Toton driver at the time

RETB used to be used in that fashion until quite recently on the Cambrian.

When I was at work I'd put my "routecard" up against yours anytime !
