Would anyone here be able to help me find out about family members who worked for gwr in the past? I have diaries etc...from this period and letters from when my grandad was posted at several different depots.Is there an area where previous employees discuss this.
Cheers,Frame in Padstow.

You didn't mention your grandad's or dad's names?

Post them up please- some of the older people on here who worked at TM might remember them ...

Grandad was James Prescott Cox from Horfield area.
Dad is Clive Richard Cox.He started april 58 till 1966.
Grandad started as porter in the 30s and went on to become an office worker and retired in the early 70s?
Harold Cox also worked there.(grandads brother)
