Foxfield Railway Back on Track

The Foxfield Railway re-opened for the 2011 season at the start of April having satisfied all the requirements of the ORR following the incident in October 2010.
The railway will be operating all four days of the Easter weekend with the motive power expected to be shared between 0-6-0STs 'Wimblebury' and 'Florence No2'.
See http://www.foxfieldrailway.co.uk/ for more information.

We anticipate an announcement on the visitor(s?) for the summer steam gala soon. But plenty of other events lined up for the season.
New volunteers always welcome and assistance for the final push to open the final 3/4 mile down Foxfield Bank to passenger trains would be excellent!

You won't need much oof a push to get a train DOWN the bank, it's getting it back up that might be a problem !
