Preparation work for the reopening of the railway was stepped up this week. Whilst observing the government Covid-19 virus control regulations, volunteers and staff have been working on various projects.

First, to ensure our two steam locomotives can safely re-enter service, both Kerr, Stuart & Co Ltd, No. 2451 ‘AXE’ and our new build ‘LYN’ were given their Annual Boiler Test. We are pleased to confirm that both engines successfully passed the test.

Google Ad Grants Success

Mar

2021

We are delighted to announce that the L&BR has been successful with a Google Ad Grant application.

This will give the railway a £7,225 per month, (£87,000 PA) SEO (search engine optimisation) marketing budget to drive more traffic to our website and attract new visitors, funding and trust members.

This is a real achievement as many organisations fail in their attempts to secure this lucrative funding from Google!!
