Author Information

KEN ISSITT started working for the LNER in 1947 at the age of just sixteen, employed as an engine cleaner. Twelve years later when he left to work as an engineer he was firing fast trains, including the Flying Scotsman. Now retired, he and his friend (and illustrator) CHRIS BATES regularly give talks about their experiences on the footplate under the guise of 'Chris and Ken the Railwaymen'. He has compiled his memories after an invitation from York Railway Museum. Ken lives in Leicestershire.
