Are you free next Monday? YES YOU ARE. So, why not join us aboard a 75mph steam train from Birmingham city centre to Bridgnorth on @svrofficialsite (and return). It's celebrating 75 years of volunteers running heritage railways, and there are a LOT of staff and volunteers from many lines around the UK already booked aboard. GWR 7029 Clun Castle is planned to be hauling us. So. Cancel your Monday meetings. Take the day off. Book yourself on this and treat yourself to a steam-hauled day alongside a lot of staff and volunteers who have built a complete sector. (And it'll probably be more fun than the Monday you currently have planned.) You don't need to be going to the @HRA_UK trade conference the next day; this is the fun bit before our working sessions start, and the trip is open to anyone. Link for booking is below. See you there :)
On Monday 2 Nov, we're joining the Heritage Railway Association and the Severn Valley Railway for the Volunteer, a special train hauled by Clun Castle to mark 75 years of heritage railways and the volunteers who built them. Book here: bit.ly/3VojgwG #heritage #steam

To Castle Cary today to see the completed restoration by @GWRHelp and supported with a £275k grant from @railwayheritage. The level of transformation can't be underestimated & the attention to detail is exemplary. Together with the next door Creamery, it's a destination station.

This was my final public role as Chairman of @NRHAwd. Totally appropriate that I ended my 16 year stint as a Trustee there with an event on @festrail, where I have worked as a volunteer for 58 years.
A special celebration today in Porthmadog as representatives from @RailwayHeritage and @NRHAwd presented the @networkrail @NetworkRailWAL award plaque to @festrail & @WelshHighRly team for the transformational work restoring Top Yard at Boston Lodge Works nrha.org.uk
