The Dainton Banker liked The_Rail_WAy's post in the thread Ribble Steam Railway.
I always feel it is a sham the potential extension of 1.5 mile further was never put into fruition as the line is very short. It would be fantastic if, even if only occasion, runs could be made across Strand Road and as far as possible towards...
