I have a simple question, but I'm jiggered if Mr Google can give me an answer, at least not immediately. I've just spent about half an hour in the railway byways, and discovered lots of things, but I've not answered it.
So here is my question.
When I was little, I lived in Bedford. My gran lived in London. We used to go and visit her sometimes, and took the train. I remember that.
What I don't remember is whether or not I might have ever travelled on a steam train. I would think the earliest would be when I was about four or five, so about 1966/7.
I imagine there was no steam from Bedford to St Pancras by then...or was there, just? Assuming I did miss steam on that line, by how much did I miss it? A year? A decade? More?
Maybe I went as a babe in arms as well, so 1962/3, but of course I don't remember that.
Someone here will know in a heartbeat, I hope?
