The guard is the man
Who sits in the van Which rides at the back of the train. The driver up front Thinks the guard is a c*** And the guard thinks the driver's the same. (Quoted from a wee book of Scottish railway poetry!)

Welcome to the Forum Ian. You could have quite a job on your hands here. I think the Midland railway records are in Derby. Will do some research and get back to you.
Best wishes, John H-T.
