Volunteer Liaison Officer update

Lineside vegetation maintenance has taken place to improve site lines on the approach to Heath Hill Tunnel and Horsehay & Dawley station


Restoration of the narrow gauge steam tram continues with the wooden coach seat frames rubbed down ready to be varnished. The coach floor has been stained, the wooden buffer repainted black and the tram boiler baseplate and frame has been refitted.


The benches at Spring Village have been stained and varnished.


Our latest video, showing the extent of the recent vandalism to our Lightmoor Signslbox is now available on our YouTube channel
