Well that was an excellent visit.

The visit of Sir Nigel Gresley, was without doubt the most successful visit in a long time.

The weather was excellent and the visitors came to the railway.

There have been many favourable comments by those visitors, and hopefully they will return in the future.

Now back to the bread and butter weekends….
