Guided Tour
In response to repeated requests from members of the public, we have updated the pictorial guided tour of the railway. To save costs and not to disrupt the regular passenger traffic we hopped aboard the first passenger run of the day. Luckily, not many passengers are about this early in the morning.
Below we see Arthur being prepared for the days duties in the engine shed. Also in the shot you can make out Queen parked up behind the Baguley. All three loco’s will be in great demand today.
Here we see the station buildings, looking rather tidy this early in the day.
As we leave the station we pass the old garage. We keep meaning to scrap that old 2CV.
Lavender Hill Halt, in need of a sweeping!
We take the footpath to the footbridge…
…and look back to the new cafe, visitors centre and miniature railway…
Continuing our journey, we visit the gravel pit (closed today)…
Above, we look down into the gravel pit from Bill Oddie Halt. From here you can also look across the main lake towards the station…
We cross Moreton Bridge before returning to the station…
And, finally, we take a look at the station area from the roof of the engine shed. H+S chap had a fit!
More piccys to be added soon, please pop back for a look!
