| The Railway's annual Steam and Beer Festival brought the sun out to shine after weeks of near-continuous rain!
Visitors travelled from far and wide to sample beers sourced from all over the UK. Triumph and Melior provided the traction for passenger trains throughout the weekend with Triumph powering six coach trains on Saturday evening and well into the night. In this collection you will also see pictures of the pipelines, which are scheduled for removal. Victor will be coming out of service soon for some essential maintenance and Barton Hall is being prepared for passenger service - check out her new livery! |
