Darius43 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) I have this poster framed at home as a reminder of a wonderful trip I did with my Mum and Dad from Portrush to Derry and back about 20 years ago. I was looking at it this morning and noticed that there are three guys in the cab and two of them are leaning out of the side window on both sides. One is looking forwards and the other to the rear. Does anyone know why they are doing this - was it a regular occurrence? Cheers Darius Edited June 16 by Darius43 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, could be a route famil with a traction inspector, or staff member transiting to Coleraine. Normal practice as I recall was one man in the cab - no lady drivers back then. If a route famil, the students may have been checking signal sight lines or other landmarks. Edited June 16 by Galteemore 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius43 Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 I have some similar posters from a web shop. Fortunately it was not this one… Belfast has certainly changed since I was last there a couple of years ago… Cheers Darius 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
