Friday 22nd July 2016 and a visit to the Cleethorpes Coastal Light Railway just as the weather had turned wet. The Platforms 1 & 2 and the tracks have now been taken over by the famous Smallest Pub in the UK on this occasion.   

The Crowle Peatland Railway Society has been formed to promote the heritage and history of the peat railways on Crowle & Thorne Moors. The initial intention was to restore a Simplex loco that used to work on the moors. However they have subsequently been able to purchase a couple of Schoma locos that were amongst the last locos to be used of the moors.

The locos are now in temporary storage whilst we complete negotiations with North Lincolnshire Council on the building of a maintenance shed and running track on Crowle Moors. For further information please visit their website

On Sunday 24th a visit was made to The Lincolnshire Wolds Railway which is a heritage railway based at Ludborough station, near Grimsby in Lincolnshire, England and the only standard gauge steam railway in Lincolnshire open to the public. Visit their website for more information and photographs.

Progress is being made so that the Hull and Scunthorpe trains do not have use Platform 1 as to the right with the Pacer train awaiting to depart here. Below one of the trains just departing from Platform 1 for Kings Cross. Extensive foundations work for the new pedestrian access bridge and lift  meant that a section of Platform 1 had to be removed for this work to be carried out.
