Bringing the history of engineering and technology to the people of the Midlands, in partnership with colleagues across the Society and @thinktankmuseum
Our Bedale P-Way volunteers are back at Stoop House Bridge, finishing the track relaying & ballasting work.
We start running trains on Saturday, so our volunteers & staff are working against the clock to deliver this project on time.

A bit of welcome winter sunshine in the #Lancashire village of Belmont this afternoon. Located between #Bolton and #Chorley, it has strong historic links to the former but is actually in the Borough of #Blackburn with Darwen. @blackburndarwen@cprelancs
