Two Month Progress Report


We’re now two months into our challenge. It’s time for a progress report.


We started with a list of 13 railways to ride on within 6 months….we’ve found out about another one while on our travels, and we’ve got wind (Sam, less baked beans please) of another two….


Here’s the tale so far (click the coloured word for a link to their website):


In The Bag- 5

3 April - Bure Valley Railway

8 April - Bressingham Steam Museum

25 April - British Rail (whatever they’re called)

17 May - Lynnsport Railway

17 May - Barton House Railway

Planned - 5

Mid-Norfolk Railway AND Yaxham Light Railway - to be visited on the same day due to geography and an extremely helpful staff at Yaxham (2 railways total)

Wells & Walsingham Light Railway AND Wells Harbour Railway - to be visited on the same day in early August - Wells Carnival Day, gonna be a great day out! (2 railways total)

15 August - Norton Hill Light Railway



On The Horizon - 3

North Norfolk Railway - quite easy to visit

Pentney Park Railway - awaiting details, uh-oh

Pettitt’s Animal Park Railway - will be a good day out

Those are the original 13 railways we identified. But….



Coming Out Of Left-field - A Few….

Ashmanhaugh Light Railway - only open first Sunday each month

Merrivale Model Village, Yarmouth - rumours only so far

“Somewhere near Cromer, maybe something to do with golf” - investigations ongoing!

Eaton Park Railway - Sundays

Strumpshaw Steam - tbn

Fritton Lake - eh?


So 5 down, 13 to go, maybe a few to add! It’s great fun!
