    You need to know who organises the charters as it's unusual for a railway to do it. Martin Creese and Ian Bowskill both organise charters and post on here so they may be able to give you some pointers about who you need to be speaking to.

    Thanks Neil and Paul for the mentions

    Pm sent to Jack . But applicable to all , the charters are open to everyone regardless of photographic ability or medium you use (Video or stills) . I try to provide a really good day out , lots of opportunities for images but also where possible things like the opportunity for footplate rides . PM me your e-mail address and i'll add you to the mailing lists and lots of regular updates on www.facebook.com/30742charters

    The autumn programme is quite busy amongst the organisers so my planned events are quite selective but hopefully appealing with a couple of summer evenings under arrangement as well . Early stages so no guarantee that they will all come off but here's hoping

    Not that I'm aware of. Certainly on none that I've organised or attended.

    In a way it is self regulating as often the ability to pay , transport to and from the railway , and start and finish times make it trickier for those younger to attend
