I was also a member of the Ian Allan Locospotters Club and had the liveried lapel badges from every region I managed to visit. As my Dad worked in the Wolverton Carriage & Wagon Works I used to get 1/4 fare travel until I was 16, along with 6 free passes per year.
Of course, aged 16, other interests took over
