The one who got away!
Not everyone who is a member of Chasewater Railway knows that when we were based in Hednesford, we had a trolley bus. One member who definitely did know took the following photographs in the 1960s.
The first one is of his brother sitting in the cab of the trolley bus, and the second is a group of young ladies posing in front of ‘Cannock Wood’ the lady in the centre is our man’s late wife, also a member. What I would like to know is how did they get away? Considering the fact that they were visiting the railway, it was to be some 40 years before we got any useful work out of him! To be fair, he has been worked fairly hard since we did get hold of him – getting the full set – TTI, Guard, Second Man, Diesel Driver and Station Master.
He’s certainly proved his worth in the museum
but we are getting a bit worried about where he wants to go next!!!
