Great to see the centre at Tadworth.. I was there in the spring of 1966 on a recruit course, very hard work , we must have spent at least five hours a day writing notes along with all the other training, we had some good times in the local pubs after a walk down through the woods from Withybed. I remember the mad dash on Fridays to get to the station to go home to South Wales. Our drill instructor was Sgt Hoath who taught us to march. Great days!

I'm so glad I found this site.
I've been researching Alfred William Lipscombe (b.1835), Railway Inspector of Worcester Shrub Hill. I've found numerous newspaper articles about him and a few about an Illuminated Address presented to him by GWR which apparently included a photograph of him. Thanks to your site I can piece together a little more about his duties and uniform.
Thank you

Hello,
I'm the former football liason officer of the Dutch Railway Police in the years 1987-1991. On 23-03-1988 their was a friendly football match between England and the Netherlands at the (old) Wembly. By invitation of the BTP we were there for a whole week in London at Tavistock Place. I've forgotten the name of your Football liason officer. Can you help me? Shortly after 1988 he was retired. Details of these days: The ferry Ostend-Dover was on strike, the Dutch supporters could not cross the channel by coach so they went by foot en were transported by train to Liverpool street station. Special detail: Half an hour before arriving at Liverpool Street Station, a murder took place in one of the trains in Liverpool Street station.
With kind regards,
Joop Goedhart.

Joop, thanks for sharing your memories.
I believe the Football Liaison Officer was Inspector Dennis Temporal. He was awarded the MBE for his services in 1990.

Really interesting. Lovely to see Betty Marshall featured. She was a sergeant when I started at Waterloo in 1980 and ran our First Aid Team. Happy memories.

I am looking into the case of a baby that was abandoned on a stopping train in Ormskirk on July 31 1935!! Is there likely to be any record of such a case in BTP archives? I am making the assumption that BTP would have been involved but please correct me if I am wrong. thanks for any assistance.

I have recently unearthed a superb photograph of my grandfather Charles Albert Tyrell which appearts to have been taken upon his joining the railway police at Liverpool Street ( GER ?) as PC204 I guess in approx 1912. He served until the early 1950's as Sargeant unfortunately he collapsed whilst giving evidence and passed a few days later. I would be happy to send you a copy of the photo and the press cutting regarding his death if you would like it .
PS his youngest offspring (my fathers sister) is still with us aged 90 living in Romford, Essex.
