Posted 20th March 2020
Following discussions between Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Company and the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society the decision has been made to postpone the forthcoming steam gala “It’s Still a Lot of Fun” which was due to take place between 8th and 10th May 2020.
The event was to be a celebration of 60 Years of Preservation of the R&ER. We appreciate this decision will be disappointing to many, but it is felt that it is the most responsible course of action at the present time. The event will be postponed to 2021. Thank you to all those who had planned to support the event whether as a visitor, exhibitor or providing a visiting engine. The R&ER is currently operating its Dark Blue timetable to provide an essential public transport link to the communities it serves but is continually monitoring the situation and will follow government guidelines accordingly.
