Spring Day Out Part 2

The second part of our weekend on Sunday afternoon after visiting the Stonehurst Farm Museum was to give the Great Central Railway a 'look in'.


According to their web pages, no steam was scheduled to be run that day, but.................... look no further!


This photo was taken from the road side across Swithland water towards the viaduct.
