Wow What a Wednesday.
We welcomed a group from the Royal Photographic Society East Midlands today. They had "free roam" of the railway (under supervision), all 4 locos were in "steam" and for the first time we top and tailed a train.
Everyone had a great day and we look forward to seeing you again.
Thanks to Stewart Wall for organising the trip for the RPS.

Stuart Wall, who is organising a private visit to Crowle peatland Railway for the Royal Photographic Society, shared a 'zine' that he produced based on a visit he made last month. His final comments were "It was the friendliness and enthusiasm of the volunteers at the railway that inspired me to arrange tomorrow’s event."

At Will's suggestion we visited Boora Discovery Park this morning. Interesting sculpture trail. A newly laid rail track for visitors. Unfortunately no one was around to blag my way into the workshop.
Still many locos around. I did leave some CPR leaflets!
