Plymouth Community Rail Festival

I wish the Plymouth Community Rail Festival was taking place this year. It was very good in 2008 but takes place only once. You could sit in the drivers cab in a class 153 and a HST^▸ (High Speed Train) and sound the horn. They had stands giving away pens, keyrings and leaflets. They also had a modern modal railway with HST's and CrossCountry trains. The event was FREE and took place at Plymouth Railway Station.

It's organised by ACORP^▸ (Association of Community Rail Partnerships), and the location is varied throughout the country each year, so different people from different areas can attend.

Paul Bigland has some photos of the event on his fotopic website: http://paulbigland.fotopic.net/c1582396.html

Yes true. Last year it took place at Carlisle. Any idea where it is taking place this year?

Just a thought, but here might be a good place to look: http://www.acorp.uk.com.

Google can be very useful for finding stuff on the internet, you know

Ok Inspector Blakey I know Google is excellent, but I just wondered if Devon Metro knew where the venue was this year to save me searching on Google.
