June 2019
Following the success of the previous year's visit to the G&WSR, the RCTS Watford Branch repeated the trip with a somewhat larger group. Thanks to Rob Davidson, volunteer at the G&WSR and also the Secretary of the RCTS Watford Branch, for organising a great package for us again. Thanks also to Bryan and Sevita at Gotherington Station for allowing our visit to their private museum and line. Sadly, the weather was not as kind as last year but did not detract from a wonderful day. A few pictures to start, more to follow, as per usual...
