Volunteer Liaison Officer update

Congratulations to our volunteer AJ who passed out as a diesel driver on Sunday and must be one of the youngest diesel drivers on heritage railways. Next stop - steam driver. Well done AJ!


More painting of the tram coach panels and frames has taken place. The boiler has been hydraulically tested to 225psi test pressure and is now ready for its appointment with the boiler inspector


The outside of the tearoom has been washed


New forks have been fitted to the telehandler


Work continues on replacing the platform at Lawley and a MOT pathway to the station has been installed. The pagoda building has been rubbed down ready for a repaint this week.


Our Easter event was very successful, with more passengers carried than last year, and some fantastic feedback as well.


Thank you to Ian, Shaun, Jacob, Mark and Josh for the additional information and photos used in this update
