15Feb2011 Frank Santrian, bill Andrews & whasname & Gary at brief encounter Carnforth

[BoogieBiker]

Nice to see they're still around.

The third man (So to speak!) with the beard is Brian (Wizza) Williams.

Sad to reflect that such good railwaymen were once at a cumby depot like Crewe!!

Nice one Leon. I bet Frank & Bill could talk for hours about life on the footplate.

What a great catch Leon, you were obviously in the right place at the right time

[stuvids]

Excellent! Good to see friends and work mates again! I don't know the chap with the white beard's name (and I don't mean father xmas!!). But I have known Frank and Bill for years. And obviously we all know Gary!!

@stuvids went to Carnforth over the bridge to see if Tang was still outside the workshop, then in the back way and spotted Gary, then ended up chatting to Frank for about twenty minutes with Gary, was odd as I mentioned his name and he said that's me. he seemed a really nice bloke. the heysham flasks never ran today, at least not between 1.30 and 3pm by the by, and our friend says they found a few faults with Tang and it will be doing another test run. catch you later.

Very nice Leon I presume thats the infamous driver Bill Andrews?

@981smithy Oh yea, he's the one with the hat, the one who looked the camera in the eye is Frank, can't remember the other ones name, sure someone will recognise him though, really made my dull day, especially after talking steam and buses to frank before I knew who he was, did recognise bill after prompting.cheers.
