Moreton Pit Light Railway

Hold the front page … because the Moreton Pit Light Railway are on it!  The staff of the MPLR were thrilled to read all about themselves in this New Year’s copy of the ‘Garden Rail’ magazine.  Published just before Christmas it is really the January 2009 copy (strange isn’t it how magazines come out a month before they are supposed to be read in?!)  Never mind because we have finally made it into print!

It has a some of the loveliest pictures of the MPLR and  tells the story of the making of the railway, a good read all round.

Father Christmas decided to visit the MPLR this week as soon he’ll be too busy!  A long queue formed to take a seat on the Christmas Special even though the weather was rather cold and wet!

A very fun-filled festive day was had by all who attended the ‘Christmas Special’.  It was unfortunate that earlier that morning the scene had been very seasonal indeed!  By the time the visitors started arriving the snow had been and gone!

Still, the Pits Productions team excelled themselves this year by using the snowy scenes to produce a very seasonal short film “Night Before Christmas”,which you can see on Youtube, just to get us in the mood.

A Merry Christmas to You All!
