Take a look at this photo taken by Adam Ashford back on the South Devon Railway Heritage Weekend - we love it! Thanks to Adam for allowing us to share it with you.

Looking forward to the rest of the year, although it feels a little far ahead, please consider booking a ticket for our annual headline event organised by Children's Hospice South West. This is taking place on Saturday 28th November. We had such fun last year and raised an amazing £18,500 for the hospice. This year we are expecting to raise even more but tickets are limited and we are expecting them to sell-out quickly so head over to the website and secure yours now as you DO NOT want to miss this special fun event in memory of Oliver.

We are looking forward to another weekend (12th and 13th September) with Lord Oliver Brown in action at the South Devon Railway as part of their Heritage Weekend. They’ll be lots to see and do, including workshop tours, vintage bus rides and classic cars on display. 5374 should be pulling a mixture of passenger trains and freight trains, giving you the rare opportunity to ride in a brake van. Take a look at the working timetable now available on the railway’s website.

Thanks to Samuel Ryder for this photograph.
