Thanks Chris, stations had a wonderful atmosphere in those days, lacking in modern ones.

My dad. James (Jim Callaghan) would probably have took those mailbag onto the platform then 'chucked' them onto the train. This side up, handle with care didn't exist then. He loved his job right to the end. RIP Dad x
