A good start to the year.

Hot on the announcement of Britannia visiting, there was the announcement of Flying Scotsman arriving at the end of February.

This is an excellent start to the year for the railway, and I am sure both visits will be a great success.

But I am also in a way sad. for fourteen years I was Station Master at Orton Mere, and visits like these always resulted in most enjoyable weekends.

Due to my current health I will not be at the railway, but we will be providing unto date information, timings etc on the webcams on YouTube. So I look forward to chatting to you on that medium.
