Not sure if this one has already been done, but I wondered what members' first recollection of railways and trains is?
My earliest memory is meeting my father off the train at Berkhamsted when I was a child. Watching the 310s stop and being exited at the "fast" trains hurtling through. Driving the poor railwayman on the platform mad with all my questions, like how do the signals work and do they generate their own power. Seem to recall I could hear the electrical hum from the OLE too.
My first journey memory is on a 310 into Euston. Listening to the clickety-click of the jointed track and wondering, on the way back, how the train could go as fast "in reverse" as it did forwards. How can a train do that when dads car can't!
I now feel very old!!
