A new collectors’ event for the diaries… this time from the reborn Rail Riders club.
This promises to be a great event for those interested in current mainline activities as well as nostalgia for British Railways over the last forty years. A wide variety of traders and exhibits.
New for the start of 2020 a comprehensive works on the official railway postcards of the Midland Railway has bee put on line by the Midland Railway Study Centre.

A couple of the harder to find postcards:
The Carnforth dates for 2020 are now available. Sunday 31st May and Sunday 16th August. (9.30am until 2pm). The May date has been changed to avoid a clash with an event at the Crewe Heritage Centre on 16th May. The station is well worth a visit most days with its museum, shop and restaurant. The shop and restaurant sell postcards related to the station. The fair sees the main platform occupied by a variety of stall holders selling railwayana, model railways and even postcards!
