🚂👨🔧 Steam trains and shovel-fried eggs. Ernest Aldrich lived it all. From wartime Calcutta to Watford Junction, he drove the #AbbeyFlyer and electric trains to Euston. A proud legacy bridging old and new. #RailwayMemories #WatfordJunction #Railway200 abbeylinecommunityrail.org.uk/railway-200/
Paws on the platform! 🐾 A brilliant #AbbeyLine outing with Guide Dogs South East a little while ago.
