There was an interesting program looking at well-known Bluebell engineman Clive Groome and his family, now available on the iPlayer:

I didn't actually like the programme to be honest. I get on well with all the Groomes, but found the programme production rather poor.
It made the grade progression seem sexist in it's implementation and I found (though I'm a Bluebell person) it to be critical of Bluebell at times.
The programme also made out (a number of times) that there was a shortage of younger volunteers, something which Clive said was not the case at the end.
And yes they are good drivers,like many of ours - one drove my train today!
And it was good to see the lorry again... It's been a while!

It was available, up to a week after broadcast. It seems its being repeated on the 23rd so should be back up in a few days however.
