Sprinting Porter Saved Diesel Train: Marple man in High Lane Drama

Found a link on FB to this story on the old web site about Jim Noble saving a train and though I'd better migrate it across to the new site. The story from the North Cheshire Herald of August 1959 was provided by Jim's son Ray Noble in 2013. Ray, who can be seen as a small child in Memorial Park with his dad in 1941, was a regular contributor to the Marple Website but is sadly no longer with us.

Prompted by a discussion in the pub on Sunday about the Spring Gardens being up for sale, I've migrated the article "An away day to Marple" to the new site. This tale explains how the pub was once the most popular tourist destination in Marple, with even more visitors than Roman Lakes.
