Middleton Railway, Sunday 9th June 2013

Twenty members enjoyed an extremely comprehensive repeat visit to the Middleton Railway on Sunday 9th June 2013, courtesy of our host Ian Dobson. Using the ex-BR 1950 built Baguley Drewry Railcar 998901 "Oliv" as our riding vehicle, the private charter loaded on the cark park spur and, after a short safety briefing, explored the Moor Road shed area to clear all available lines, including running beyond the shed doors on one road of the museum building. As you would expect from the excellent team at Middleton, both the Balm Lane branch (and corresponding run round loop) was completed in full along with the standard run to Park Halt, where we ran to the end of the line before completing the run round loop there.
