Dame Margaret Weston was the first president of the Heritage Railway Association, and well into her 80s took a hands-on role, cajoling Britain’s heritage railways into professionalism and maintaining high standards of reliability and safety. She was passionate about working with and motivating the volunteers who provided the backbone of their operations.
