Moreton Pit Light Railway

Is that Winter has gone and with a glance,

it is time for the Morris Men to dance….

At last some real sunshine to bring all the crowds out on the MPLR.  Everybody was enjoying the Spring day.

It has been hard work, after the winter we have had, getting the MPLR looking spick and span once more.  But being the First of May the Adderbolt Morris Men paid a visit of course and ‘Queen’ and ‘Vincent were kept busy all day!

Well, lets hope that there will be many more days like today on the MPLR!  Oh, and yes of course the railway is going to carry on working, it’s just the Pit that’s being sold off!

There was chaos, shock and horror among the workers at Moreton Quarry today when this notice was discovered at the quarry entrance.

Is Moreton Pit to be sold? What will happen to the railway? Is this the end of the MPLR?

The men soon found Mr A Scrooge the accountant of the MPLR, and questioned him as to what is going on!

Meanwhile Bill Goodie, reserve manager, was out in his rounds when he came upon this notice.

So is the MPLR up for sale? Will Bill Goodie no longer have a job? Well, no but the Board of Directors have decided that in these times of austerity the old pit has to go and be sold off! As to the railway……. Watch this space!
