Volk's Railway suspended because of bees on the line

(http://www.theargus.co.uk/resources/images/3947487.jpg?display=1&htype=0&type=mc2)

A HISTORIC railway came to a temporary stop because of bees on the line.

Services on the Volk^s Railway on Brighton seafront were suspended this morning after a swarm of bees took up residence around a bush very close to the railway line.

Fortunately a beekeeper was quickly on scene to clear away the swarm and allow normal service to resume.

The world^s oldest running electrical railway is holding a number of late-night services this summer including until 8pm on July 26 and August 30 and until 7pm on September 20.
