EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s at Tanfield station, where the esteemed station master Bill Hampson takes center stage. A proud Newcastle engineer, Mr. Hampson is seen setting off the first engine of the Easter weekend on April 19th, 1987. The image captures a moment filled with excitement and anticipation as he waves his flag high in the air. The platform is bustling with eager passengers ready for their journey aboard this magnificent steam-powered train. The atmosphere is electric, and smiles adorn both Mr. Hampson's face and those of the delighted onlookers surrounding him. Dressed immaculately in his uniform, Mr. Hampson embodies professionalism and dedication to his role as station master. His expertise shines through as he ensures everything runs smoothly for this special occasion. This snapshot not only showcases a significant event but also serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when public transport played an integral part in connecting communities across vast railway networks. It reminds us of simpler times when trains were more than just a means of transportation; they were vessels that carried dreams and aspirations. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph by NCJ, we can't help but feel grateful for these glimpses into history that allow us to relive moments like these – moments filled with joy, camaraderie, and a shared love for railways that continue to captivate our imaginations today.
