open days
I visited Wolverton Works open day the last time it happened it was great as they still manufactured most of the components in house.The making of brake blocks by two men and a furnace was fantastic.It was access all areas and yuo could look into the royal train shed but not enter,the traverser was dmo,,d as were all aspects of carriage overhaul.Shame the accountants called a stop to this years event.Aylesbury station held an open day in the eighties with the Duchess in attendance.A feature of the weekend was the attempt at the world speed recordover Marsh Crossing!!!!!!!!Two class 20,s attended straight off coal trains in the noth, not even cleaned! Perhaps Chiltern will open Aylesbury depot one day,Sunday morning it was visited by a Wrexnam set.
