KESR’s/RVR Junction Road weekend, 19 & 20 March 2011

Plans are well in hand for the above event, which will feature KESR trains running over the RVR metals between Bodiam and Junction Road. It is hoped that Charwelton, as RVR’s first steam loco, will be rostered for the services. Trains running west of Northiam will be topped and tailed because of the lack of a run-round at the Junction Road end.

Please note that there will be no views of or access to the railway at Udiam Farm or Quarry Farm which are private property; and no parking anywhere in the vicinity of Junction Road, for road safety reasons.

RVR and KESR members will be entitled to discount tickets on these days, while regular volunteers will be able to travel free on production of a suitable “grade” card, which we plan to introduce for RVR volunteers shortly.

For further details, please keep an eye on the RVR or KESR websites which should have more information as it becomes available.

    Trains x2. At least 1 will need to be
    PTS'd for Northiam crossing whilst the
    train is at the station

    Let me know at streetert@rvr.org.uk .

    At the moment photographers and RVR/K&ESR Members cannot enter any part of Juntion road area as there is no footpath access. Udiam is out of bounds completely. K&ESR Photographers can access RVR grounds via Bodiam for £5.00/day. KESR Photographers are PTS'd for K&ESR land and RVR East for the duration.

  2. This is a great addition to the news feeds coming from the RVR. Well done and keep up the good work. I look forwards to firing an engine over RVR metals in the future!
