The wearing of stout footwear is advisable and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty.

Anyone who does not want to walk can see inside the signal box and have extra time at Marley Hill.

For those attending I suggest we make a donation towards the cost of the buffet – Tanfield Railway is a registered charity.

This event is being organised for the Friends by Angela Pickering who is the “Bright Spark” at Tanfield Railway.
