    Thoroughly enjoyed our visit this afternoon.

    Wish I had got there earlier now.

    Seemed busy.

    Great to get round all the workshop areas and to see the traction engines on display.

    Even managed a ride behind 22 and WST on the last train of the day.

    Hope it was a success and that the "word on the street" that it could of been the last ever day was incorrect.

    Best Regards
