SUMMARY:South Wales/De Cymru - 40 years on the footplate
DESCRIPTION:Lee Davies started working on the railway after spending 12 months on a Youth Training Scheme (YTS) and just two months in a “proper job”. Four decades later\, he’s still there. After all\, in the words of Ellesmere Port driver F. A. Jones\, “Why work when you can drive trains for a living?” \nOn Wednesday 9 September\, join us as Lee kicks off the South Wales Branch’s 2026/27 season with a selection of photographs and stories from his 40 years on the railway. \n \nLee Davies on the footplate.

SUMMARY:South Wales/De cymru - Oh what a drag!
DESCRIPTION:Why not join us at the Old Church Rooms this month as we turn our attention to one of the most famous railways in the UK. Nigel Wassell will be taking the floor to celebrate the sesquicentenary of the Settle & Carlisle Railway\, with the help of some famous friends\, including John Spencer Gilks and Mr E. Bay. \nAs usual\, complimentary tea and coffee will be available\, along with our competitively priced KitKats during the interval\, while our famous pre-loved bookstall will be open for you to make that last-minute Christmas purchase. \nTalking of which\, we’ve received an email from a Mrs Trellis of Radyr. She writes to say that she was delighted to discover our famous pre-loved bookstall. She finally found a book she’d been looking for for years – unfortunately\, she’d already bought it from us the previous month.
