Our disability carriage gets the thumbs up !

A Kind review left by Robert Jones and his aunt who recently visited us. It was a pleasure to meet you both and we look forward to your next visit.

The staff at the Light Railway were extremely helpful, and went beyond for my aunt. She’s in a wheelchair and they helped to make our day special.

One Very Happy Theo!

 

One Very Happy Theo!

Steve Carr, one of our dedicated volunteers, made a 3D printed nameplate for one of our locomotives called ‘Theo’.

One of our regular visitors to the railway is also called Theo, so Steve kindly made a duplicate for him. Thank you Steve.

Here Steve is pictured presenting the nameplate.
