Bucket list

Whilst having done most of the Southern railways (draw line from Birmingham to Sheringham) will visit Telford tomorrow.
Did Llangollen today, first visit since 1995. Lovely.

 

The 2 foot narrow gauge Wiscasset, Waterville & Farmington Railway at Alna, across the pond in Maine, USA.

I'd like to get round the welsh narrow gauge lines. So much charm & character:

Ffestiniog
Welsh Highland
Bala Lake
Corris

Also wouldn't mind getting to the lavender line to see their thumper & the class 309 that's now based there.

 

Visited Telford yesterday. Was given a guided tour by their PW (volunteer) manager.
A railway with great potential considering its proximity to Ironbridge etc.
I wish them the best of luck.

 

Oh, using the South Western service from Weymouth to Corfe tomorrow with a large group of revellers. Lock up your Grandmothers!

 

The thread title invites people to muse over things they would like to do before they die! Maybe it needs changing to fit your goalposts?

 

who knows when your number will be up?

 

So a before you kick the bucket list?

 

Well I can tick that one off the list:

 

I must add that one to my list ! great video

 

The "new" Welsh Highland, I'd like to go back to the GCR for the first time since 1991, GWSR has been on the list for years (a friend live in Bishops Cleeve, I go there several times a year and I've still never done it).

However, the absolute priority for me is the MSLR I think.

 

Having travelled all over mainland UK the only one now missing is the Strathspey Railway. I really must go to NI to do some of the mainline steam tours there. The RPSI do really well with limited resources

 

don't forget Downpatrick and Cultra, well worth a visit. Agree re. RPSI

 

Main one for me is the restored L&B,

as well as the great cockrow and vale of rhediol when the garratt is in action

 

They do indeed .... they also do bloody marvellous bacon rolls!

 

Stradbally too.

 

not in the UK

 

Which is the very reason why a bucket list is called a bucket list...

And why this thread is a which UK preserved railway that you haven't been to before would you like to visit next year list, not a bucket list.

 

I don't see the distinction. It's a list of lines you'd like to visit before you die, which may be next year.

 

Apologies .... I keep forgetting the border's still there .... for now!

OK ..... Giant's Causeway then. Better?
