    Scott Dolling – A childhood spent on the rails
    Apr 30 2025

    Scott’s mum and dad were crossing keepers at a station so his Great Rail Tale began long before he was born. Day to day and family revolved around the timetable and life at the station they called home for 40 years. By 10 years old, Scott was volunteering at the station and jumping on the trains to go up and down the line with the drivers.

    Today Scott is a station adopter at his “home” station keeping the legacy of the station and his family connection to the rails.
