a brit's whistle

sometimes , in the early '60s , the distant , different sound of a britannia whistle as compared with the usual stanier hooter would result in one of the regular group of spotters calling out "that's a brit's whistle "--here that sound is heard again as britannia returns to the main lines on a crewe -shrewsbury test run

it was also a pleasure much missed in the pandemic , to meet and talk to friends by the lineside without masks or distancing whilst waiting for a train to appear !
