Can anyone name this UTA train driver

[Lambeg man]

Can anyone identify this person? He was a UTA train driver and was photographed in September 1965

That's Bertie Walker, with cap at its usual jaunty angle.

I can't answer, but I think that's the inside of an AEC railcar..... anyone know?

[Lambeg man]

No John, not an AEC Railcar. The still grab is from a Rolling Stones 1965 documentary footage of their Irish tour. They are on a morning 'Enterprise' service of CIE stock to Belfast. From the original film it was pi**ing with rain when they left Dublin. Apart from his identity, why was a UTA driver travelling 'on the cushions' on a morning CIE down service? Oh by the way, our man is engaged in getting Charlie Watts autograph.............

Fair enough.... just the bits on the bulkhead made me wonder.

He doesn't look a typical Rollin Stones fan tho, bless him..!

Many thanks for that Down distant. Nice to put a name to a face. LM
