If you have a Findmypast subscription you will also find Henry and his wife in the 1939 Register, and although he is working on the railways he is not listed as a porter, but I can't tell what he was working as because that would breach FMP's rules.

On another site written by Guy Etchells who visits this site
A caller, caller-off, caller-out ; loads and unloads trucks in a goods
depot; calls out particulars of incoming and outgoing consignments, from
lables on goods, to good checkers q.v. in preparation for their removal
from platform or wagon by goods porters q.v. cf caller (709)
Cheers
Guy
it is likely that your ancestor progressed form the job of a Porter, to that of a'caller off'. I find it hard to believe that a porter would be allowed to such a job!

Evening geneius
Thanks for the advice, we have decided to leave the 14 day free trial until we are on a weeks holiday and the hit the 1939 register hard. The list has already begun
We have an Ancestry Subscription so we will definately only be using the trial.
We have used the first 2 websites you mention, but will be exploring the other 2 once I get a day off.
Regards
Andy
