Well here we are approaching mid January, a traditionally quiet running month for the railway. Though as per usual there\u2019s a lot going on through the month behind the scenes. <\/p>\n
A diesel gala lies ahead of us in March with a class 66 amongst the running locomotives. This is something to look forward to. Diesel enthusiasts are generally keen an knowledgeable group.<\/p>\n
The other day I received an email, now that fact in itself is not unusual, but this one was from a past regular visitor to Orton Mere on gala days. It\u2019s always nice to receive communication from old visitors, many of their comments remind me of how long it\u2019s been since I ran Orton Mere. Time progresses at a steady pace and I was in my 50\u2019s when I joined the railway and last November I marked my 70th birthday. <\/p>\n
He commented on how time has flown by and referred to some past events, I must dig out some of my pictures of the past at the railway, and put a few on here., we shall have to see.<\/p>\n
Somebody once said that you don\u2019t have a future if you don\u2019t remember the past. So with that in mind let\u2019s look forward to services in 2026, looking forward to not only special event days but also normal running days. Have a great time when you next visit the railway and tink positive about the coming year.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
