    Part 1 - Alderney

    There was a short industrial railway on Alderney which has since become a tourist attraction on the island carrying passengers in two 1959 London underground carriages.

    From Geoff Marshall, a super clip [11'08"] of the Alderney Railway and a short workshop tour and chat with the volunteers who run (diesel hauled) ex-LU 1959 stock on this lovely little line:

    Paid a visit to Alderney last Tuesday. According to their website, loco repair issues mean that the line isn't currently running and the track has become seriously overgrown in places as I walked part of it whilst I was there, the images below showing some of the clearer bits!
    The view of their shed was taken from one of the observation levels of "The Odeon" - which , despite it's nickname, was never a cinema, just a ruddy great German WW2 observation bunker.........

    This was obviously originally one of the quarry loading points.....
