Mine would have been Staines-Earley - Winter 1960 or 1961 (snow and plenty sparks) to visit my dying grandmother in the old Battle Hospital in Reading. What stock would it have been?

Wolverhampton Low Level to Paddington in about 1962 or 1963, Class 52 Western with Mark 1s. A classic train in my view!
My earliest rail memory is of a great day on Blaenau Ffestiniog, though I may well have been on Haverthwaite-Lakeside before that.
First journeys on the 'proper' rail network that I recall are day trips using the now-withdrawn Barrow-in-Furness to Liverpool trains. I'd have been 10 I reckon - so this would be 1996. Any idea if that would be with British Rail or was it First North Western by that point?
