Bluebell 125
11th August 2007

The Bluebell Railway celebrated its 125th birthday with a weekend gala, and, in the company of fellow tedium-members Mike Snow ("Steam on the Web") and Mr Clive Hanley, I travelled to glorious Sussex for the Saturday of the event (where we met up with Graham Briggs and Gordon McCulloch) - unfortunately, problems with low water pressure meant that the scheduled timetable was severely disrupted, and the Metropolitan Railway No 1 was sadly absent - nevertheless, with some brilliant sunshine, it was a most enjoyable day in excellent company
