Its Cold t’up North
As you will know we had twenty apprentices start the first week in Jan. Well we had a foot of snow, days when it was 8 below ,so here we are at the end of the second week and heres some photo. I have to say that even with these appalling conditions they have not lost any time and are already to send
the wheels off to North Wales. Photos by Keith Langston.

These young men are a credit to you, and to the youth today. They have taken the opportunity you have given them, and don’t want to let you down. They really look as if they are enjoying what they are doing, well done indeed to all involved.

Proof that today’s youths are not all bad as some sections of the press would have us believe.
Credit to all concerned

It’s an excellent way to engage young people and give them real hands-on experience. Even if they don’t like railways they’ll learn some really valuable skills.
More places need to echo this imagination!
I’m looking forward to next month’s article in Steam Railway Magazine.
Keep up the good work all
