On Friday 21st April, Peter Wright gave a presentation to the members of March Museum. The theme was the horses whose names adorned 122 railway engines that ran on the main lines north from King's Cross.
He outlined the LNER's adoption of this unique naming policy and stories about the horses and those associated with them. Among them were 'Aboyeur', 'Merry Hampton', and 'Humourist'. Peter received a warm round of applause and was thanked for his efforts by Museum chairman, Gordon Thorpe.
