BLS North East Weekend, 24th & 25th February 2018
The Branch Line Society organised a weekend based in Newcastle on 24th & 25th February 2018. Saturday was a safety training day for stewards held on the North Tyneside Railway (Stephenson Railway Museum) and conducted by Green Dragon Rail and was a highly informative and valuable day. On the Sunday the "Metro Meanderer" tour was run in conjunction with Tyne & Wear Metro and Nexus Rail, raising funds for the charities Mind and St. John Ambulance, as well as the North Tyneside Railway. The weekend also included a "micro-tour" on the Tanfield Railway on the Sunday evening, taking in the rare (for passengers) curve from the main line to Sunniside into the yard at Marley Hill. All in all, a great weekend that was most enjoyable. As usual a few shots to start with, more to add as time permits.

BLS Stewards, BLS "Metro Meanderer", Gosforth, 25th February 2018
BLS Stewards help to prep the BLS "Metro Meanderer" tour train prior to its departure from Gosforth Depot to pick up passengers at South Gosforth station. Window decals describing the route are normally fixed to windows but this was not an option this time, so they were attached to interior surfaces instead. 07:55¾, Sunday 25th February 2018.
