Welcome to
"The Brighton Motive Power Depots"
website
John Lillywhite
It is with great saddness to inform you all that retired driver John Lillywhite formerly of Bognor depot passed away on Friday 18th May. |
Over many years much has been written about the various forms of traction that operated in and around the Brighton area.
But very little has been documented about the footplate-men who actually worked on them.
This web site tries to remedy this as it seeks to explain the history of
Brighton’s Motive Power depots
and the creation of
the Brighton branch of the train driver’s union,
ASLEF – the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers & Firemen.
It is dedicated to all ASLEF members who have worked at our depots over the years,
and it features ASLEF members who brought our Brighton trains to life.
DID ANYBODY FIND A BAG OF ASLEF BADGES AT THE REUNION ON TUESDAY 8th MAY?
PLEASE CAN YOU LET ME KNOW SO I CAN REUNITE THEM WITH THEIR OWNER
THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY CLUB NOW PROVIDES WHEEL CHAIR ACCESS, WHICH IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE OF THE MAIN ENTRANCE
IF YOU HAVE ANY PHOTOS, SLIDES, NEGATIVES (35mm & 110), NEWSPAPPER/MAGAZINE CUTTINGS OR STORIES THAT YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO ADD TO THE WEB SITE. PLEASE BRING THEM ALONG WITH YOU TO THE NEXT BRANCH REUNION ON TUESDAY 7th MAY 2013
Many thanks to Andy Derrett (Ipswich Branch), Alan Pentney (Leicester Branch), Bob Dorkings (Barnham Branch) & Mark Organ (Ex-Brighton Branch) for allowing me to display their photos of A.S.L.E.F. Badges on this website
