Jack Traill from Oxford. Posted 16 Oct 2006.
I well remember the Miners Trips from Penicuik each year. Leaving from the old Pomathorn station on the steam train we would have a great day visiting exotic places such as Galashiels or even going over the water to Burntisland. Throwing pennies out the train window when going over the Forth Bridge for luck.Marching behind the pipe band when we arrived and having everything organised for us like races where you could get a few coppers if you won. Ice cream on the train back and a sleep on the net luggage rack. Happy days!!
