Thanks Stevie, also used to go 'spotting' at Bethune Park after school, many a summers evening there, did you ever go? Always hoping for that most wanted 'cop' of 60004 William Whitelaw!

No ; Youth tended to keep me around Folly Farm bridge in 'The Woods', from when the new quadrupling was going on, through the last years of normal steam days (though once saw Miles Beevor rush through Hatfield on the Down, which I think was said by my older cousins who were spotters, to be a rare one ; - I'd have to guess at that being roughly around 1960).gusdaq wrote:Thanks Stevie, also used to go 'spotting' at Bethune Park after school, many a summers evening there, did you ever go?

But in the late '60s I was quite often not far from Bethune Park a couple of times a week - .... in New Southgate signal box.
