Paul 'Piglet' Middleton
Paul started work at the NYMR in December 1996, at the tender age of 16, after he finished school. Paul’s mum spotted an advert in the Whitby Gazette for an apprenticeship and made him apply because he owed her £50.
Paul was nicknamed “Piglet” by Mike Smith, a now retired welder, whose grandson had put a small plastic Piglet figure (from Winnie the Pooh) in Paul’s lunch box. Mike commented that Paul looked a little bit like Piglet, and the nickname stuck.
Paul has worked at the NYMR ever since and was promoted to Foreman in 2007. He then became Depot Manager in 2016 and finally Traction and Rolling Stock Manager in 2017. Paul’s hobbies include cycling, flying model aircraft, motorcycling (touring Europe), backpacking holidays, working on his allotment, and dog walking. He is also a volunteer fireman on the NYMR.
