As ever, any offers of asistance are very welcome. Please contact Graham Ironside on 01224 733084 or graham.ironside@tiscali.co.uk

Public brake van rides and shop openings will restart on Sundays from April 27th.


Private Events (tbc)
29 April; 3 May; 31 May; 4 June; 13 September




Initially, we intend to continue operating from the coaches as previously but with the arrival of a new facility located on the platform, the shop and catering area will be re-located as soon as practicable. The coaches will remain as storage and overflow accommodation in the short/medium term.

Given the present uncertainty over the future disposition of shop and catering facilities, I hope that two Volunteers might be sufficient for effective staffing but it may be that a third is required for our Sunday openings.
