Bure Valley Railway, May 2003

Over a decade after first opening, the Bure Valley Railway has matured into one of the main 15' lines in the country.  The line is now run by a collection of purpose-built locomotives which cope admirably with the arduous work that caused so many problems in thne early days.  This collection of photographs was taken during Spring Bank Holiday week in 2003.
