Celebrating the Bull Dog spirit of the home front
Relive the nostalgia of 1940s Wartime Britain. The Embsay & Bolton Abbey
Steam Railway steps back to the difficult times of Wartime Britain. Various
re-enactment societies attend the railway over both days. Watch out for the
Home Guard, Soldiers and Airmen returning home on leave and, of course, the
long suffering civilians.
A frequent service of trains will operate on both Saturday and Sunday, between
10.30 and 15.40 (Bolton Abbey), 16.30 (Embsay), subject of course to enemy
action. The railway has had special dispensation from the Ministry of Food to
operate its refreshment rooms at Bolton Abbey and
Embsay stations.
For further information, please telephone Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway
(01756) 710614 for general enquiries, or the Talking Timetable (01756)
