This beautifully written, meticulously detailed, highly engaging
book is a rare treat. It evokes a vanished world of railways that
achieved extraordinary things logistically while using what is by
modern standards distinctly old-fashioned technology. Lifelong
railwayman Terry Collins takes the reader on a journey into the
heart of what working on the railways between 1962 and 1996 was
like, from the days of steam, to the dawn of the modern railway
age. The book is also a real eye-opener about many of the
behind-the-scenes incidents the public never hears about. 'Never a
Dull Moment' is an absolutely unforgettable book As Terry himself
says: 'I really enjoyed working on the railways. We had our
tragedies, sadly, but we also dealt with many other challenging
incidents, including some bizarre ones, and when we won, against
the odds, and got the trains and people moving again, it was a
great feeling! I say "we" because this book is also very much about
the many people in the signal boxes, Traffic Control, stations,
yards and on the track, that I worked with, some of them "larger
than life" characters, but almost without exception, determined to
win. And we did!'
