Bredgar & Wormshill Railway

Hi All

I am going to have a trip down to this railway in August and would like to take a few pictures, could anyone point me in the right direction for some good spots along the line, i've seen some pictures near a lawn is this location public ?

Also i have seen some postings that tell what loco may be working on the line, i've looked at the website but car'nt find it any were

Thanks for any help, Ian

 

The line is not fenced in so most locations are accessible. I went there for a gala in October 2011 which was a cloudy day and found the best location to be under the trees between the long straight and the main station where there is a climb and the line curve ( see http://paulsimpson.zenfolio.com/p884180991/h2f8c86c0#h2f8c86c0 . The area adjacent the lawn is accessible , the line runs North -South in this location ( I think) with the locos facing north. The photos you have seen are taken from the west . The line is not very long and a lot will depend if the sun is out and the effect it has, and if the extension to the carpark is in use ( runs North East to South West then South - locos facing south see http://paulsimpson.zenfolio.com/p884180991/h1bc8cd33#h1bc8cd33 )

 

I paid a first visit there last Sunday, brilliant little place with some lovely locomotives. Had some rather hot weather to go with it.

You will need to email i would think to see what is running. Otherwise it's probably pot luck.

Cheers,

 

The line's only about a mile long and is in a C shape, and is easy to walk along/around. It's a lovely little line, well worth a few hours down there.
