Free Books!
We’re having a clear out and we’re giving away a load of secondhand railways books.
We need to make way for others, so please make use of them - before we go to the skip…

Don’t let a little drizzle put you off having fun at our railway and at the vintage fair here this weekend. We’ve got the covered coaches out!

Contrary to common opinion, we’re often very quiet here at the railway on sunny days.

So don’t avoid us because you think it’s going to be too busy! It’s not!!

New Arrival!

Dawn (manages the shop) and Lee (driver etc) this morning became grandparents!!

Bouncing Baby Boy Lennon is in good health. Mother Ellie is also doing fine. You may also know Ellie as she sometimes covers the shop.

So how long will it be before baby Lennon can be seen riding the train?

Nothing to do with trains – but we thought you may want to see Eric, the late Railway Dog, having fun when he was a puppy.

UPDATE : Good news about the Stockport Bench.

It’s no longer for sale as we’ve decided to gift it to the Community Rail Partnership. They will restore it and return it to its home on Stockport Railway Station.

Many thanks for all the ideas and comments. Especially the offers to help.
