The Association is the custodian of five ex-British Railways Mk1 carriages. Four of which are frequently used on the railway. Their regular use transporting the ever-increasing visitor numbers requires constant upkeep to maintain them in a safe and working condition for our visitors' delight.

 

There is a further carriage which is currently under restoration and we are looking to bring it into traffic in the future.
