A train driver couple from Essex have tied the knot with a tube-themed wedding party – complete with Oyster card drink tokens and a service information welcome board – to celebrate how they met and pay tribute to the bride’s late father, who worked on the underground for 40 years.
Melissa and Phil Clarke, aged 31 and 49 respectively, from Basildon, met at work in 2016 when Melissa worked on the platform and Phil was a train driver, and since having their first date at a Harvester, the train enthusiasts have had two children together – Mia, five, and Max, four.
