Ribble Steam Railway Gala 16th-17th Feb.
 

Ribble Steam Railway Gala this weekend.

A group of us from Wirksworth are there with Ferybridge No.3. I am rostered on the footplate on Saturday and will be with the Ecclesboune Valley Railway Display on the Sunday.

Full details of the EVR May Day Bank Holiday Gala will be available.

Best wishes,

Looks very nice John and one I have yet to visit. Unfortunately I will not be able to attend this one due to family commitments. I will later in the year at some stage I am sure.
I am going to either the Nene Valley or Churnett valley next week, not quite figured out which yet?
Anyway I wish you all well, have a successful weekend, and I am sure great fun will be had by all.
All the best
Phil

Hopefully I will get to see you John, weather permitting, not sure on the day yet

Alan

I'll be around, maybe even on both days, so I will look out for you John

Had a great weekend with wonderful hospitality from the Railway. No. 3 did all that was asked of her, a great start to the new season, especially after the race to get winter maintenance done so that she could attend the Gala.

Great to meet Alan line side on Sunday. I was on the footplate all day Saturday.

Got home 9.30pm last night ready for a hot bath and my own bed!

Ribble Steam railway is a great place for photography, so if you haven't been, go to the next Gala. However I can't promise the light will be as good as it was this weekend. Be sure to go and spend some money there, even if you don't ride the trains. They do a good bacon bap in the cafe!

Will post a few photo late.

Best wishes,

John H-T.
