Train enthusiast Oliver, 9, a pupil at Bradwell Village School became a Junior Conductor for the day on London Northwestern Railway on February 12th.

To celebrate the launch of a brand new fleet of electric trains, London Northwestern Railway offered one lucky train enthusiast a chance in a lifetime opportunity to be a Junior Conductor for the day and represent Milton Keynes Central on a train ride to Crewe.

In his own words, Oliver has always had a "massive love for trains" as his great grandad was a fireman on the City of Coventry steam train.

On the day, he worked alongside the London Northwestern Railway team as a Junior Conductor. He got to travel in the cab, greet customers, check tickets and make announcements over the tannoy. There were nine other children on the route from London Euston to Crewe.

Oliver had a great time and said: "I checked loads of tickets and made loads of announcements. It was really fun because I got to meet other children who like trains too."

This has inspired Oliver to become a conductor, driver or signalman when he is older.
