Got in the wagon this morning at 4.30 and on Radio 5 live, The Up All Night Show the presenter was interviewing someone from Hull and someone else, missed their names. The bloke from Hull was talking about train spotting in the days of steam. Anyway one of the guests, dunno which one mentioned his love of rare 60's soul and the next thing Jack Montgomery is coming out of the speakers Daft question did anyone else listen and catch who the guests were? One was a mod way back or summat like.

I'd have thought most trainspotters would be huddled on platforms or hanging over bridges at that time.

How come they didn't play Don Thomas or Gladys Knight?
