Merry Christmas

Thank you for visiting the blog and for supporting the railway over the last twelve months. It's been a year of solid progress and we aim to continue in 2020.

The Santa season has now finished and thank you to everyone who travelled and to the volunteers who gave up their Christmas shopping days.  Many trains were sold out and feedback has been very positive.

In the new year we will be adding a Saturday morning working party, primarily to work at Weston. 

Thank you one and all and a very Merry Christmas.

Until the New Year!

Santa Specials 2

We are in mid Santa season and all is going well.  Bookings have been very good this year and some services have been sold out. Thank you!

Many thanks to all who have helped with the operation including the members of ATC Squadron 1165 from Oswestry, your assistance is much appreciated.

Coming up we have the last weekend, the Sunday afternoon was full so an additional run has been added at 15:30.  Other services are close to being sold out.  Book through the website if you want to come along.

Some restoration work is going on but we are concentrating on giving our visitors the best experience possible. Guy's camera is still out of action so a new one has been put on the Christmas list. Pictures will be added when available.

Until next time.

Don't forget to book on the website and come along for some festive fun.

Weston Station

The work at Weston continues with the two sidings heading towards completion.  It is important to finish these sidings before the platform is assembled as access with mechanical plant will be severely limited once the platform has been installed.

Similarly work on removing years of growth and dumped materials is ongoing as we tidy up the site area.

Andy G was on hand to take a quick snap of the latest progress.  Work on the footings for the precast platform sections is underway and delivery is expected early in the new year.

The picture shows the view from the point looking south towards the new station.

Thanks to Andy for the picture and to all who joined in.

Until next time.
