::Hello Ian and welcome from me too. Yes, the information would be very much of interest as Patrick says. Just to add another suggestion, I know that a while ago Graham set up a drop box (I think it was) account to hold scanned images of things like old maps so that we can get shared access without having to upload everything onto the Wiki itself. There are presumably quite a number of pages involved so if you can do scans it might be worth doing the same. We may be able to use the same account - he'll probably see this but I'll drop him a note to check. --[[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 14:24, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
:::Thank you very much for your replies, Patrick & Robin. I will try to scan and upload a page or two. My father was a GWR employee on SVR from 1938, and this logbook covers the period 17/6/40 to 26/9/41. The records comprise 148 pages, with 2 columns of 22 lines per page - i.e. about 6000 sightings. It isn't purely SVR, it includes a few trips away and weekend trips back home to Crewe. I understand (from my father's diary) that his previous notebook was lost, but I have the others covering 1928 (age 13, living in Crewe) - 1964 (end of rail commuting when our local station closed at Churchdown, near Gloucester where he was working in the BR WR District Commercial Office). More later, when hopefully I will have learned how to do wiki editing. --[[User:Ianbutton1|Ianbutton1]] ([[User talk:Ianbutton1|talk]]) 18:37, 1 October 2021 (UTC)
