| 29-Jun-18 | Past, Present and Future of the Gloucestershire and Warwickshire Steam Railway. | Presentation | Peter G. Bennett |
| This presentation will explain the where, the why and the how of the building of the original line. It will also tell the story of the railway’s demise and its subsequent re-emergence. Since closure the railway has faced and overcome many obstacles and problems. As a volunteer organisation it has both issues and opportunities to deal with. The latest achievement, the return to Broadway will be described together with what happens next. It is a story which has lasted over 115 years so far! It will be presented by Peter Bennett, Deputy Head of the Carriage and Wagon Department and 10 years a volunteer on the railway. |
