    The above link to the timetable doesn't work as I believe there have been some changes to it.

    The current timetable is at: http://nvr.org.uk/sites/default/files/WEEKEND TORNADO TIMETABLE 3.pdf

    Luton Model Railway Club's Great Train Robbery Diorama will also be on display at Wansford, and at Ferry Meadows there will be pump trolley rides, inspection trolley rides, miniature railway rides and the TPO's open to the public.

    And of course you can see works progressing on the new canopy for the station

    Yes, it was a tad moist on Monday. Doc Lacey's gazebo came in real handy where our fund raising stall was concerned.
