Cleethorpes
Coast Light Railway
70th
Anniversary Gala - 15th July 2018
The first train from Lakeside to Kingsway
was hauled by 24 & "Katie".
Arrival at Kingsway where the locos ran
round seperately.
With 24 already on the other end of the
train "Katie" now runs round.
The train needed to set back here to
allow sufficient clearance for "Katie" at the point.
The 10.25 service from Kingsway with
ample motive power, just coming off the viaduct.
"Katie" leads 24 through the floodgate
and onto the front.
The pair are now seen crossing Meridian
Road after having departed Lakeside station.
The 11.25 from Kingsway seen pulling into
North Sea Lane station.....
.....with "Katie" and "Sian" on the
front.
A later train, also at North Sea Lane,
handled by "Sian" on her own.
"Sian" running around at North Sea Lane.
The CCLR announced to the local press during the gala weekend that they
were planning an extension
to the running line which would see trains crossing over Buck Beck (seen
top right) and continuing to a new station in Thorpe Park to
serve the holiday camp and Humberston Fitties.
