Press release from FSMR.

Press release 25/01/2026



As we have previously posted on our social media, extensive work is being undertaken on the tunnel cutting using both an external contractor and members of the FSMR to redress issues with the bank stability and drainage since it was last re profiled in 1995 Unfortunately, a combination of very poor ground conditions and extensive rainfall through autumn and winter have delayed the project and we have now taken the decision to extend the suspension of public operation of the railway further through the summer
This unfortunately means the railway will not be able to operate during the June 2026 event. However planning for the June miniature steam rally is well underway and we hope to expand attractions to accommodate for the railway not operating
We hope you will still be able to support the railway during this time and look forward to seeing you all in June

Foot note
The work being carried out both in the cutting and around the line replacing life expired wood with plastic sleepers and strengthening the riverside track bed, will future proof the railway from flood damage and deterioration of the track due to the changing climate and the increased winter rainfall being experienced

My flabber has never been so gasted !! I listed a Wrenn W5010 Robertsons Van on ebay and they have removed it because of what's shown on the side of the van. I'd show a picture here but Facebook would probably ban me.
