Steve and I worked together at National power and we became good and firm friends and indeed I still miss chatting with him today.

I know James will be as dedicated a railwayman as Steve was and he will be a great asset to any company he works for, I wish him all the luck and good wishes from me and my family.

I'll second your best wishes Les.
I don't know which company James intends joining but wouldn't it be a fitting tribute to his dad if one day he got to drive the Freighliner 66 that carries his name?
