I only ever caught one train from Langley Mill, and it was a steam train! I went on holiday to Great Yarmouth, it was either 1963 or 1964. I only found out last month that my older brother was really annoyed that it was a steam loco - he'd been looking forward to being on a train pulled by a modern diesel engine.
