    Started as a fireman became a music mogul now honoured with a loco named after him. Next its time to let him drive it. In a safe environment of course. Congratulations Pete .

    This is brilliant, a music mogul from back in the day, a genuine railway enthusiast, so only right he's got a loco carrying his name, brilliant....

    I am SO happy for Pete - a wonderful gentleman and fellow modeller, who I once had the opportunity to chat to at the Warley model railway show. The 'Hit Man' finally got hit himself and his face was an absolute picture. Very many congratulations, Pete.

    Well deserved in my opinion. Pete is an amazing guy and he deserves his name to be presented on a locomotive. So thank you for doing this for him Tim Shoveller. You have earned my respect as well.

    Very well deserved for all the happiness he has brought to many..
    On a side note I understand the now (automatic) female platform announcer is often referred to on the railway as Sonja.
    As she gets Sonja nerves!

    Hi Dave.
    There was some discussion one lunch break at the Cathedral, when Pete mentioned that he had an unveiling to do, and he didn't know what it was going to be...
    Turns out it wasn't anything Oasis themed then! 😅
    Yes, that was my topical suggestion! 😂
    A lovely surprise...🙂
