Let's head back to 1977, when railways were more interesting (do enthusiasts from every era think the same thing?) and let Peter Purves tells us how exciting they are.
Not partonising, just a straight tour that shows trains as something to be proud of.
Peter Purves is a top chap too. Years ago, a friend and I were working at the local Guide Dogs event. In our cub uniforms, we had to stop people going up stairs they shouldn't.
At the event were Barbara Woodhouse and Peter Purves. I queued up for a Woodhouse autograph and on reaching the front, was pointed at a sign telling us should would only sign books. Peter, on the other hand, happily signed my event programme and chatted to to the two of us. I still have that programme somewhere, and don't own any books by Barbara Woodhouse.
