Warring Forties? Event? Are these some of the questions you ask? Well, yes we are doing a warring forties event this year. Even though we only have about 5 locos that could carry out this service, and 2 Mk.1 and one other rake available, we are sure that this event will be a huge success. And we can always add on one or two extra services using the 58 and the Blue/Grey. There will be an excuse for it!
Troop Trains, Goods Trains, Repair Trains, Evacuee Trains, any type of train you can think of will be operating. Share a train with German Soldiers, Watch the engineers rush into action as they strive to keep the network running, and see what it was like to be an evacuee leaving London bound for the country.
All this and more, only at the Crystal Bay and Kingsford Railway.
Prices for the event are £1.50, Adults, £1, Concessions, and 50p, Children.
Brake Van Rides and the Mk.2 Coach Tour will operate as normal in the yard, however on a special timetable, which is subject to change, due to the modern appearance of the stock - we don't want any NSE in the war zone!
Please Note that the event will be taking place on the Kingsford-Crystal Bay section. This is due to the engineering works which have discovered a large abandoned mine shaft under the tracks. The DMU will be operating a 'Teddy Bear Weekend' on this section of line, and can be read about elsewhere.
