Henry Charles Webster

Passionate about steam locomotives from an early age, this biography tracks Henry Charles Webster’s life from being a teenage trainspotter through to retirement.

The highlight of his career was the supervision of the Locomotive Sheds at King’s Cross Station during the 1930s. This was the heyday of LNER’s Pacific locomotives and their famous express services. The most important of these being the legendary “Non-Stop” Flying Scotsman.

As part of his duties, he was on board during the record-breaking runs of Sir Nigel Gresley’s 2750, Papyrus and the first A4, Silver Link.
