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.
