is at approximately 19.50.

Event Coordinator, Ruth Evans, writes

by email

An auction has been arranged to sell the

specially designed headboard, which will say

"DALESMAN - YORKSHIRE AIR AMBULANCE".

This will take place half an hour before the train departs.

If possible, perhaps you could put this message

on your website to give either the opportunity

of travelling on this special train, and if not,

bids can be emailed to

me ruthevansltd@hotmail.com

to be received no later than the

16th August.  Any emailed bid will be taken to the auction



 

The clock from Carlisle station tower seems to have gone missing, if anyone knows, please ring Whitehall 1212?

I think this is a thrush train-spotting at Durranhill.
