Hi There, my name is Keith, I am a Conductor on London Overground based at Willesden. I have been on the railway for 34 years. I started straight from school originally based at St Pancras, i moved to Marylebone in 1985 and then after being made surplus to requirements in 1993 i moved to Willesden where i am still based.
I was for many, many years a very active member of my trade union RMT, now i am just member who helps out occasionally. I am passionate about transport especially London's Transport and more inparticually London Transport. I have a great interest in the London's buses especially route history and vehicles. My favorite bus was the Routemaster and i spent a lot of my twentys and thirties chasing them around the country and i also managed to be on every last one in service when the final routes were to replaced in 2003. I also love the devolopment of the underground, i use to love travelling on the Met line and in the final couple of years trying to photograph the remaining A60 stock.
I also part own a former London Transport Routemaster which takes up a lot of my time. I am a member of the Swansea Bus Museum where my Routemaster is, i also volunteer on the Gwili railway in Carmarthenshire.
My other hobby was being an avid supporter of Arsenal FC, money constraints meant that after some 25 years of being a season ticket holder i gave it up in 2010.
