Tracks to the Trenches - 2016 (13-15th May)

www.ww1-event.org

Hi All,
A short news update from the team.

Firstly a quick reminder that the Advance purchase deal (receive a free event guide) for Tracks to the Trenches tickets ends in about a weeks time - this also includes the ever popular "Access All Areas" passes. Please see the tickets page (linked here: http://ww1-event.org/tickets)

The all event (Friday - Sunday) hourly free courtesy bus service from Stoke on Trent railway station and Newcastle under Lyme is fully confirmed - more details in the "How to find us" section (linked here: http://ww1-event.org/findus)

The visiting (& participating site resident) loco list is now on the website. We hope that there may yet be a few surprises...

There is frenetic site activity by our committed team at Apedale at the moment - hopefully you will all be able to enjoy the fruits of these labours in a few weeks time.....

Watch this space for further exciting developments!

Late exhibit entries entries are coming in now for Tracks to the Trenches. We are delighted to announce two real celebrity machines will be making a first-time visit to Apedale. They are the Ffestiniog Railway's 40HP Simplex (once known as Mary Ann) and Moelwyn - the UK's only surviving example of one of the Baldwin tractors which were very popular with American and Canadian forces during WW1. Being FR locos, their wheel standards are alsightly incompatible with the railway at Apedale - so they MAY be static display or very limited operation - testing will decide.
There's still just a few days to buy advance tickets. The deal is pretty good - you get to skip the queue, and get the guidebook thrown in. The guidebook is £4, and is really nice - so you get £13 worth of ticket and book for £9, and quick entry. A bargain if ever there was one. We've also still got a few Access All Areas passes left. Closing date for advance ticket sales is 1st May, so stop messing around on web forums and go to www.ww1-event.org with your credit card in hand.
