EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of Newcastle Central Station on 18th June 1972. Train enthusiasts from far and wide have gathered eagerly to catch a glimpse of one of Britain's fastest steam locomotives, the legendary Sir Nigel Gresley. The image captures the excitement and anticipation in the air as a medium-sized group of people line up along the platform, their cameras poised to capture every moment of this remarkable journey. The steam billows out from the engine, creating an ethereal backdrop against which these dedicated train spotters revel in their shared passion. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to witness firsthand how public transport played such a significant role in connecting communities during this era. The rails gleam underfoot while the station buzzes with activity; it is clear that trains were not merely means of transportation but objects of fascination and admiration. Although we cannot discern specific ages or identities within this photograph, what unites everyone present is their love for all things locomotive-related. Whether young or old, they are united by a common enthusiasm for witnessing history unfold before their eyes. Thanks to NCJ's keen eye behind the lens, we can now relive this nostalgic moment and appreciate anew both our collective heritage and those who continue to keep alive our love affair with trains.
