Coldham Crossing & Revd Wilbert Awdry


Coldham Crossing


Following some recent complaints about the poor condition of the level crossing at Coldham, with one motorist claiming to have broken a spring on his car through it, two members of the Trust not only visited the site, but even went on to contact Network Rail direct, as they are still responsible for it, and within days, they had been out and carried out some good repairs, and cleaning it up.




While the Trust are not yet responsible for the upkeep of the crossings along the line, if anybody does see something wrong with any of them, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us, then we will look into it, then hopefully get something done as quickly as possible.


Saturday & Sunday 11th/12th June 



On Saturday & Sunday 11th/12th June, a group of members were invited to attend The Old Vicarage at Emneth, and one time home to the late Revd. Wilbert Awdry, who brought us Thomas The Tank Engine. The reason for the visit, was for the Roadshow to attend, getting more new members. Every member there enjoyed themselves, including during the rain on Sunday, and would like to say a very heartfelt 'Thank you' to our hosts being Mr. Mark Thatcher, and his lovely wife Dr. Flo Thatcher, for the hospitality given to us.
