FutureLearn course: Working Lives on British Railways starts today
« on: Monday 12 April 21 15:03 BST (UK) »
I know many of us have people in our FTs who worked on the British railways.  This free course, from Strathclyde University,  commences online today, and deals with the people who worked on the railways, rather than the history of the railways.  I've signed up and am looking forward to four interesting weeks, and finding out a lot more about what my ancestors did in their working lives on the railways.

Great - see you there.  I'm really enjoying the course so far.  Fascinating learning about the lives of the people who actually worked on the railways, rather than the history of the railways themselves.
