SUMMARY:The Harwich Branch
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin & Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by Dave Goodyear. \nThe Harwich branch has a rich and varied history\, with its combination of named  boat trains to Parkeston Quay and extensive freight services for the Harwich Train Ferries\, as well as local passenger and goods services.  The line was electrified in 1986 but this unfortunately heralded the start of major changes in traffic flow which resulted in the loss of much of the branch traffic. \nThis talk will cover the branch history from its opening in 1854 through to the present day\, showing the variety of trains through the steam\, diesel and electric eras\, along with the key branch infrastructure. \nDoors open 13:30 for 14:00 start.
