Photographs of Richard Hornby, a Blackpool based driver, who was normally rostered for the Club Train - image courtesy of Carol Howard, his great granddaughter. The rostering of drivers to work particular trains was generally based around a series of groups of men known as ‘links’.
Richard Hornby would have been in the ‘Top Link’ as a result of his length of service with the L&Y with almost certainly a 100% unblemished record of timekeeping and reliability
