Title: Passing of Kerr's Miniature Railway
Post by: grahame on October 09, 2020, 07:38:08
Way out of territory, but a post to mark the passing of Kerr's Miniature Railway, in Arbroath.  Sad to see the end of an era.

Miniature railway could return to Angus as £150,000 lease renewal considered

Kerr's Miniature Railway had operated at West Links in Arbroath since 1935 but closed in 2020 due to dwindling numbers.

The heart says "that would be lovely". The head asks "how would passenger numbers increase / it be made a business case?"

The miniature railway COULD become a paying proposition, without any increase in passenger numbers, if expenditure on premises or land was reduced.
