I was quite young when most of the rail network disappeared,
courtesy of Dr Beeching, may God rot his knickers! The railway ran along the
bottom of our garden and I used to go outside specially to watch the 19.03
(yes, I am that pedantic) chug past.
Then diesels came in and the magic died a little. Then they took up the railway
and the trains were no more.
However, that childhood experience left me with a lifelong
love of trains. I won’t be the only person to know the more famous name of the
Gresley Pacific 4472 - The Flying
Scotsman - for the uninitiated. Nor the only person who strokes the
gleaming blue sides of the mighty Mallard. I visit the National Rail Museum in York regularly to get my train fix.
So, when I saw the competition for the Yorkshire Wolds
Railway, it was irresistible. I was lucky enough to be long-listed and for my
story, Smokescreen to make it into
the resulting anthology.
