A cheeky trip to Ropley station at the Watercress Line yesterday. Nice to visit a station and see trains come and go from time to time as opposed to being onboard

The National Tramway Museum at Crich is a unique opportunity to view the largest collection of vintage trams in the U.K. You also get the opportunity to ride on many of them with great variation and different Trams to ride on throughout the day. The museum is a working village with pub, cafe shops etc. Which truly brings the whole place to life

Sorry to be quiet for a while. Had an early morning call yesterday informing me of a steam excursion travelling through the Portsmouth line. I quickly got myself down to just north of Fareham Train station to catch ‘Lord Dowding’ (actually loco Braunton in disguise)

I made a special effort to travel East on the South coast of Britain to Tenterden’s Railway also known as the Kent & East Sussex Railway. the 10 and a half mile journey has many stops and beautiful views from the window. At one end of the line you have the quaint market town of Tenterden with unique locally run shops and restaurants. The other end of the line you have Bodiam Castle, a relatively complete castle dating back to the 14th Century. This railway makes for a great layout with fantastic variety along with unusual locomotives for steam buffs to enjoy.
