Hi all, Easter weekend (22nd/23rd March) will see the bus rally at Kirkby return again, this is a very enjoyable weekend with lots of free things going on,if you are going i would recommend parking in brough and using the free buses that run from Brough to Kirkby Stephen West(s+c) calling at Kirkby Stephen East and Kirkby Stephen centre,if you like old buses this is an event for you,also lorrys and tractors and other entertainment aswell.
At KSE we will try and have a couple of our diesel locos running.
If you would like further info please look at www.kirkbystepheneastrailway.fotopic.net and follow the link for cumbria classic coaches.
If anybody goes then please get in touch and let us know if you enjoyed yourself
Reading you item, prompted me to dig out some archive photos, which I took at Kirkby Stephen West station on 4th August 1973, of which I e-mailed to Andy for perhaps his future use with the magazine. There is something of interest, you may be able to resolve - on that day I took a photo of the original Midland Railway Signal Box but when I re-visited the station on 3rd May 1982, the box had been replaced with a flat-roof structure. Do you happened to know when the original box was demolished, why and when the new one constructed?
I couldnt find out much info for you other than the signal box was rebuild during 1974, we think it was in need of repair.Sorry i couldnt find out more for you, i am looking forward to seeing your pics in the mag. You could possibly try our website www.kirkbystepheneast.co.uk for some more info.
See you at the rally
