Yesterday, I was invited to take the second train journey of the season out of Pages Park Station up to the Stonehenge Works end of the track.The Narrow Guage Railway is run by a very dedicated group of professional and knowledgable volunteers but the most interesting point of the NGR is the number of people that travel from all over the country and even the world to visit the railway.
You can visit the railway's website at www.buzzrail.co.uk
As the issues with Arnold White Estates develop, I and other ward councillors will be supporting the railway. There have been quite a few people that have contacted the railway directly as well as through me to offer support and this appreciated by all.

In the months since this posting, a lot of progress has been made with the planning issues that had been holding us back. In particular, the District Council has awarded us some "planning gain" funds, as a first instalment on the new building at Page's Park, which will double up as station and community facilities. We do, however, have to find a lot more money, from Lottery and similar sources, before work can start. This will require us to show that we have consulted the local community, and that there is a demand for the facilities. So how about it, good people of Sandhills and Kingswood Park? Post your thoughts here, or email them to info@buzzrail.co.uk.
