EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Apprentice Training School intake of 1979 at the Steam Museum of the Great Western Railway (GWR). The image transports us back in time to an era when apprenticeships were the primary route for young people to embark on a career in engineering. The photograph shows a group of eager and determined apprentices, all dressed in their smart uniforms, gathered in front of the iconic steam locomotive, 'City of Truro'. Their expressions convey a sense of pride and anticipation as they embark on their training journey. The presence of the locomotive symbolizes the link between their education and the practical application of engineering principles in the railway industry. The Apprentice Training School at the Steam Museum of the GWR was an integral part of the railway's history, providing young people with the skills and knowledge required to maintain and operate the steam trains that once dominated the British railway network. The intake of 1979 was just one of many groups of apprentices who went through the rigorous training program, which included both classroom instruction and hands-on experience in the workshop. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and commitment of the apprentices, as well as the importance of vocational training in shaping the careers of future engineers. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage of the railway industry and the vital role that apprenticeships continue to play in providing opportunities for young people to learn valuable skills and build a rewarding career.
