BLS "Ruby Shoesday", 28th October 2018
This was another wonderful tour organised by the Branch Line Society, marking 40 years of Merseyrail and raising funds for the Merseyside and Cheshire Blood Bikes Charity. Run on a cold but gloriously sunny day, over £7,500 was raised and a great time had by all. Thanks to all involved in this venture. As usual, a few pictures to start things off, more to add as time permits.
