Barnetby

Hi
The last two times I was at Barnetby I almost died of boredom, it was so quite. There were no ore trains at all.
Thanks

Hi Saxokid,

In all the rules for enthusiasts and advice given on stations it is always that enthusiasts must NOT wear high visibility vests. (unless of course you were wearing it in pursuit of your railway duties).
I would love to make a trip to Barnetby this year but it is awkward (and expensive) to get to from Devon.
