Hopefully the 'railway' has benefactor's that have the odd £ to help the company out. However there must be a few heritage lines that are in a serious position. https://www.droitwichadvertiser.co....ley-railway-raises-650-000-recovery-pandemic/

I wonder how Thomas and his friends are getting on, on the island of Sodor

I have heard that Gordon is having trouble sitting down. Apparently he has a tender behind.

Have made modest donations to some of these lines including the SVR which I really must visit again, and not just for the Bathams Best Bitter. Whilst clearly not at the top of most peoples priorities many of these railways make an important contribution to the local tourist economy.

I’d be worried about the fat controller

There have been so many things postponed or cancelled this year, and yes, I know, the bigger picture is what's important (by which I don't mean football)

One of the things I was most looking forward to was the Bluebell's 60th anniversary cavalcade in August.

Making a donation is no substitute.
But it's something.
