    Many of you will have heard of the private Stevington and Turvey Light Railway, hidden away in deepest Bedfordshire. The railway has been operating since the 1980s, but last Sunday was the final operating day for the railway. The stock and track are being moved to a new site nearby in Woburn where they will have full engineering facilities and security. Sadly the railway has been attacked several times by metal thieves in the last few years.

    I was lucky enough to visit on their last day and have a few photos of the day up on Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/photos/crowquine/sets/72157645542592774/

    Enjoy,

    Dan

    Presumably some ex-standard gauge track bed?

    Sorry to regurgitate an old thread, but curious as to where this all ended up? That clerestory coach is quite something

    The entire railway was relocated to a private location near Woburn in Bedfordshire, run by the same set of enthusiasts.
