    There was a fire at the pub last week, seemingly in a bin between the pub and the railway's shed. Sadly, both the pub and the shed caught alight. The pub say they'll be closed for the next couple of months for rebuilding, but it seems the railway has lost every item of rolling stock.

    Someone has thoughtfully set up a fundraising page to help out.

    That's sad, hope they can bounce back from it.
