This from Leo Pink...
It looks as though the soi disant veteran observer is even more of
a veteran than we first thought!
It turns out that he is chairing the Derby175 group tasked with delivering celebrations to mark the 175th anniversary of
the railway's arrival in Derby.
Presumably he was appointed because he is the only person who can
remember what happened at the time?
Or more likely, because he is a silly old... (that's quite enough history! Ed)
