As a porter at Ropley it was great to see this side of what we do touched on.

Very well put together, informative, well presented and very entertaining. Thank you for posting, hopefully more like this soon 👍🏻😄

[@y2rbentley]

love this idea will, great series!

You scrub up well Will!
As you mentioned, it's all about presentation, and that includes the staff.
As for those quiet periods, that's when you check your vegetable patch or chase pheasants!

absolutely love the vids! keep up the good work

[@dinohdan]

Good series!

[@thomasm1964]

I'm not sure I want hear that you offer courses in crashes on your railway!
More seriously I am enjoying the series on what people actually do in their different roles. Gives one a much deeper appreciation of just how much work goes into making the trains run.

Good video, like.

[@Beatlefan67]

Your vids are so good they inspired me to 'sign-up' as a member. The magazine arrived a couple days ago which is very informative and of high quality. Keep up the good work! (Were you 'Making Plans For Nigel' then, Will?)

[@WillStratford]

Hi John, that's fantastic! The magazine guys do a brilliant job.
