The popular Plymouth Miniature Steam railway in Southway will be launching their public running season at the start of April with the Plymouth Miniature Steam club.
Operated by the Plymouth Miniature Steam club the first running will be on Sunday April 2 and followed by a ‘one off’ Railway Easter Egg hunt for children on April 9.
Sunday public running will then take place on the first and third Sundays of the month until the end of October, with all events running from 2pm to 4.30 pm. It is hoped to be able to add one or two other special events such as the popular Halloween Run and more details will follow later.
A spokesman for the club said:
“We would like to thank all the members, friends and helpers who have worked throughout the winter to replace substantial sections of rail track and foundation and prepare the locomotives and carriages ready for April.
“We would particularly like to thank Plymouth City Council and our local Southway councillors for their help and support.”
The work being carried out on the railway site at Pendeen Cescent, Southway, has generated a great deal of interest among neighbours, local dog walkers and teenagers.
“We would be pleased to encourage anyone with an interest in either operating or maintaining our miniature railway to consider joining and taking part, we are not just the ultimate ‘Men’s Shed’ – we are open to everyone.
