There has been an update on both Terriers. Knowle is in the last year of it's boiler "ticket", but is out of service at present due to worn bushes on the rear spring hangers. Knowle will need a new cylinder block, as well as boiler work, at the...

Much to my shame, I made a belated first visit to the KESR the other day, taking care to avoid the Gruffalo event! It really is a lovely line and despite the manual operation of the various road crossing points, it seems to work well at its own...
