Thankyou for checking our website.
Unfortunatly due to the COVID restrictions we aren’t able to take passengers on the trains at the moment and our club activities are very limited. The health and safety of our visitors and members is very important to us and until the situation improves and we have the chance to put measures in place this will remain the case.
Our Future Events section here on the website is updated regularly with the latest developments but initially these will be for members only while we decide how things can work.
Take care and stay safe.
