Fred Kerr was born in Edinburgh in 1948 where he gained an interest in railway locomotives from both the LMSR and LNER companies whose services permeated the local network. When his parents moved to Corby in 1956 the interest in railway locomotives expanded with the experience of industrial locomotives operating in the nearby steelworks.

Throughout the years since, Fred has continued his interest in railway motive power hence his interest in the operation of the Voyager train sets which were introduced to service by Virgin Trains as part of its Cross-Country franchise agreement during the early days of privatisation. That interest is reflected in this album, which illustrates images from his extensive photography collection and provides a brief history of the Voyager family and the operators of the various class members.
