EA will no longer be active, but the company will continue to exist legally for a while, as things are wound down. The B&YVRT will now do the land purchases, and more that EA could not do. We had a shareholder's meeting, and the vote to transfer...

Following closure of the railway bridges were demolished and cuttings infilled, removing the railway from the landscape with only major earthworks and station buildings remaining. This film, by L&BRT/B&YVRT supporter Keith Edwards, celebrates the...

I think I read on their website that they are moving into hosting commercial events and social gatherings like weddings, etc in the new building, which has recently gone up. I can't see it closing, but then that will all depend on who has...

Everything aside, I think the new loco looks great and has the potential to give great service to the L&BR. It would be interesting to see her lined up at Leighton Buzzard with both Pixie and Risha Here is another photo of her while she is at...

lynbarn liked mikehartuk's post in the thread Rother Valley Railway.

That is the trouble with this forum, I guess. You don't know me very well then:):):) . I have only been a member of the L&BRT (and the Association) since 1979.
