In the 1950’s my father and I would regularly travel to Fridaythorpe and we would try to get to Garton Slack in time to see the passing freight. In those days, always a steam engine with a friendly waving crew.
Often, when the train appeared in Driffield Station and take water at the column on the Brid platform the crew would let us onto the footplate and sometimes take us for a ride up to Wandsford Road. It was years before I learnt the reversing lever was not the handbrake.
