First specific memory, though not first journey, was in 1982/3 when I was in year 5 as it's now known (age 9-10). We had a school trip from Tenby to Pembroke and we went by train rather than coach as part of the experience.
We were allowed in the cab one or two at a time and a few got to sound the horn as we approached the level crossings. Coming back it was absolutely pouring, and we were allowed on the train at Pembroke on its outward journey to Pembroke Dock rather than having to wait for it to come back.
So much of that wouldn't (and couldn't) happen today.
