    The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway are pleased to announce two weekends of steam gala running, using their newly restored Andrew Barclay Ferrybridge No.3 "Brian Harrison" and special celebrity guest 1867-built locomotive Bellerophon, which recently starred in BBC TV's 'Cranford'.

    Just a quick reminder that this event is coming up this weekend. Some finishing touches are being put into place at the moment which promises to make this event even better and the website will be updated accordingly when they are announced, so check back regularly!

    A couple of photos from the Sunday of the Gala. I wasn't able to get any of Bellerophon in action as I was on the loco!

    Did you enjoy crewing the loco at a different railway for a change?

    Good, I am glad you enjoyed it. Anybody that missed it don't forget it is on again this weekend. No.3 on the incline and Bellerophon to Idridgehay. You can upgrade and travel in the Inspection Saloon for £3 and receive Bucks Fizz and Orange Juice in the first class seats.
