Nene Valley Railway : 15-May-2019

That sure was a great day out on the Nene Valley Railway with Mum, Dad, and my older brother Douglas. Turns out, I’ve not done Nene Valley Railway, since 2014. So was, long overdue to do it again! Also have a feeling, my parents have not heritage railway, in well over 20 years!

That was a great day out in London with my older bother Douglas. Who is down for the week, along with our Mum and Dad. But only Douglas and myself went to London.

While in London, we went to the Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory, National Maritime Museum, Queen’s House and also the Thames Barrier. Oh and I also got to tick off another railway station, this time Charlton.

Angel Road railway station ✅

So pleased, I’ve ticked this one off my list! Since Angel Road railway station is due to close later this month.

In 2016/17 it was the least-used station in London, with an estimated 33,500 passenger entries/exits.

It will close on 19 May 2019. All services will switch to the new station at Meridian Water. So visit it, while you can!!
