20 20 Vision

Happy New Year and welcome to the start of another year of progress on the CHR project to connect Oswestry to Weston by a heritage railway.

Firstly a very big thank you to all who have supported the Santa Specials over Christmas. This includes all of the volunteers and helpers who put on a great show but mostly to the customers who rode on the trains.  The trains were pretty much full for the duration. Thank you one and all.

The latest newsletter has just been published, have you signed up? You can sign up on the CHR homepage.  In the newsletters you can read about some of the plans and the back story to current activities.

Now that the running season is over it's time to get back on with restoration and improvements, once the decorations and props for the festive season have been packed away.

In the shed at Oswestry the suburban coach restoration continues with the roof having received attention and a new coat of paint applied.


Many thanks to CHR Facebook for the picture.

Work at Weston will pick up again after Christmas with the intention to get the trackwork in place whilst access is still possible.  The Cambrian shuffle will start again as materials need to be brought down from Oswestry to complete the station.

Looking forward 2020 looks to be another important year for the project. There is so much going on it's a great time to get involved. You can also put in to action that new year's resolution to get fit and lose weight. What better way than to get involved, have lots of fun and help the railway to move forward!! We look forward to seeing you.

Until next time.
