Are you prepared to take charge of a train?

Do you like the prospect of free travel at Quainton?

We have a number of vacancies for guards. Volunteers will receive a comprehensive training and an examination before passing out and taking charge of a passenger train.

Trevor Paice is our Head Guard and this picture (which was awarded Second Prize in our Photographic Competition) shows Trevor on duty at Quainton. Whistle, hand-lamp, flags, detonators are the stock-in-trade of a guard. He must be alert to the safety of passengers and his train and is responsible for the smooth operation of our internal service. Why not telephone Trevor at Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx xxxxx, now?
