🚂👨‍🔧 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/

🚂 In the ’60s, Howard rode the #AbbeyFlyer to Watford Tech. Steam locos, wooden carriages, and friendly crews made it “the best branch line ever.” Got a memory of the Abbey Line? Share it!

There are many ways to pay for your travel on the #AbbeyLine.
If you haven't paid for your travel before you board the train, you must make yourself known to the conductor as soon as possible, who may be able to sell you a ticket.

Throwback to the #AbbeyLine in the 60s & 70s! 🚆 Annie's uncle Eldon was a conductor who once fined his own daughter for fare dodging 😂 And yes — he met Muhammad Ali at Watford Junction! 🥊📸

Rodney Salter rode one of the first diesel railcars in the 1950s—his dad even filmed from the cab! Sadly, the bumpy ride made the footage a blur. Steam memories linger too, watching locos thunder past #Watford North Halt just feet away.
