Old enough to remember 312s in BR Blue on the ECML, young enough to go to school by FGW.

I am not going to tell you! :lol: (I don't need to; I've probably said before here and it's in my profile. Instead, a few hints to my exact date of birth...

I experienced my first April Fool's Day aged 125 minutes.

It's too obvious to be 1st April so... 31st March? :p

Whatever gave you that idea? :lol: A date shared with, among others, René Descartes and Al Gore.

Old enough to remember locos in green livery (just) and deltics as an everyday occurence. 39 in other words. I'm surprised by the number of younger posters on here TBH. Also, there seems to be almost nobody aged between 21 and 39. My teenage years (1980s) were without doubt a golden age for rail enthusiasm, probably the time just before society at large started having a serious dig at enthusiasts as some sort of national sport. However, it's good to see lots of youngsters coming through despite the nerdist behaviour of most people :)

Well there are around 15m people under the age of 19 in the UK, they're going to crop up from time to time ;)

Back on topic however, I am 20 years old (or young if you prefer).

3 Score (20) + 10 = 70 my dear friend.

Score was the common term for refering to the figure of 20. So three scores equals 20. There i thought i was the oldest one on here...... lol.,

I will give a clue to my age i left school and went straight into British Rail, on 20 June i will have been employed 30 years................... more then most on here in age it would appear. My god i feel really old.

We might feel old chaps, but pity these poor youngsters who have missed out on what we were enjoying when young ourselves. 40s, deltics, hoovers, loco-hauled passenger trains a plenty, varied and interesting freight workings, slam door stock, the heyday of [hardcore] bashing, and traction and stock largely built in Britain. I admire their enthusiasm I must say, in the face of a society much more determined to mock 'nerds' as they see them, and also in the face of an endless procession of plastic tubes that you can't get your head out of the windows of!
