    Whilst it would have happened eventually if it hadn't been for the TR proving volunteers could run a railway I doubt railway preservation would be where it is today. They proved it could be done and trailed the path that we have all followed.

    Maybe we should all raise a glass or two tonight in memory to those who sixty years ago today in effect started railway preservation in the form we know it.

    We had hoped to make this one, but we will down later in the year, so I hope everyone and the railway has a good week.

    Desperately upset to be missing this. I live in Aberystwyth, but at the last minute I've been called to South Wales for some work :(

    Will definitely be visiting at somepoint this year though, I have yet to ride in one of the original 4-wheelers. This must be rectified.
