ππ¨βπ§ 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/
π In the β60s, Howard rode the #AbbeyFlyer to Watford Tech. Steam locos, wooden carriages, and friendly crews made it βthe best branch line ever.β Got a memory of the Abbey Line? Share it!
