A funny old weekend

The Jubilee weekend was a funny old weekend.

The first two days were excellent weather wise and people were out to enjoy themselves.

Saturday was not too bad either. In the evening Bahamas arrived off the main line late and in the dark! At Wansford it was found to have an issue and therefore was not available for service as planned on Sunday.
92 Squadron pulled the Sunday services in its place. Most people seemed happy. There are lots of excellent photos and videos of the weekend on YouTube so well worth a trawl.

So all in all a great weekend and hopefully a profitable one for the railway.

Here we go……

Writing this before we begin four days of services celebrating the Platinum Jubilee of the Queen.

We have steam services all four days with 92 Squadron the first three and the locomotive Bahamas on Sunday.

I think this is a weekend where I will miss not being at Orton Mere, time like this were fun with nice visitors and plenty of business for the railway,.

Enjoy the Jubilee.

Getting ready for the weekend.

Thursday to Sunday sees the Queens Platinum Jubilee, and like everywhere else we are celebrating this special occasion.
We have numerous events over the four days culminating with the locomotive Bahamas visiting us and pulling the three services on Sunday.

No doubt this will be popular, when the locomotive was with us before it generated a lot of positive interest.

So whatever you’re doing this Jubilee weekend have a great time, and if you’re visiting the railway look at all we have on offer a visit is so much more than just a train ride.

Terrible news from Railworld.

From Brian Pearce.

We Volunteers at the Railworld Wildlife Haven are truly devastated! We have to close!! The terrible creeps have been back and ruined what volunteers have made for you and our City of Peterborough …. We are so sorry …
