  Hi Colin,
  My husband was a train driver for 39 years going from freight to mainline driving, he has also had to take early retirement on medical grounds (he has MS) so we know how you feel. Working on the railway is like being part of a big family, your colleagues would always be there for you, but that doesn't stop when you leave. We have been touched by the number of railway employees who ring or pop in to see how he is doing. He's also been told to pop in the lobby anytime to see the others. Although he's only been retired for 6 weeks he's found new hobbies and interests already and is so far enjoying the freedom. It's good for me too because it was hard seeing him struggle to walk to the car let alone to work, determined not to give in. His last few months were spent doing office work but that was hard after driving for so many years. He can now relax and enjoy his retirement and it's nice to have him home where I can keep an eye on him lol
  
  Anyway what I'm saying Colin is enjoy your retirement, don't lose track of your old mates and keep taking those photos that we all enjoy.
  Good luck, good health and congratulations.
