Sound like a great success story for the Spa Vally Railway. I must plan a trip to see it. Good luck to them.
P.S. Do they have a web site?

Good Luck to them. I am genuinely pleased for them, but did you know the North Norfolk Railway at Sheringham will be re-connected by the end of February by a level crossing? In time, it is also hoped the Bramley Line will be able to achieve this as well, but not to run our trains on straight away.

If all goes according to plan Oliver Cromwell will haul the first charter over the crossing into Sheringham Station on May 17th, see new copy of Steam Railway.

Best wishes,

If I remember the date it will be an excuse to visit Sherringham,
I remember when the crossing was still in place however will cross the Bramley Line at Wisbech on our way along the A47.

If I remember, so will I and you will soon recognise me from my Bramley Line gear. The last time I saw Oliver Cromwell, was when I rode on the footplate at Bressingham in the early 1970's. Until I lost the album, I had a photo of me on there in it.
