BLS Bound for Craigy
Less than a week after the previous tour, the Branch Line Society ran another special on Saturday 18th March 2017. This was the "Bound for Craigy" tour, run in conjunction with Virgin Trains East Coast, PLEG and the 125 Group, raising funds once again for the Railway Children Charity to the tune of some £50,000! I was fortunate in being part of the proceedings and once again a few photos start things off, with more to add as time permits. Will I ever catch-up!?
