3rd Beer festival & 1st Opening Anniversary 27/28 February 2010.

Janet Hardwick was the last person to purchase a ticket before the line was closed 51 years ago, we asked her if she would rejoin us for our 1st Reopening Anniversary and was presented with a new ticket for the train ride by Ray Meek.

Beer "Cellar" fully stocked

Although cold and wet outside it was warm and cosy inside (especially with Buffys 9X - 9% Beer!)

Outside we were running Annie with some of our dedicated crew utilising both of our carriages for the first time in their new livery "Blood and Custard"

Finally at the end of the day "Toffee" could not stay awake any longer and fell asleep (maybe because of the beer?)
