DavidW vond Big Al's post leuk in het topic Kent & East Sussex Railway.
Much to my shame, I made a belated first visit to the KESR the other day, taking care to avoid the Gruffalo event! It really is a lovely line and despite the manual operation of the various road crossing points, it seems to work well at its own...
