SUMMARY:Sugar\, Steam and Sunsets (Java)
DESCRIPTION:A Hitchin and Welwyn Garden City Branch presentation by David Longman. \nIn the early years of this century\, David Longman made a series of trips to photograph the remaining steam locomotives working on the narrow gauge sugar lines in Java.  Unwilling to join an organised group he travelled the length of the island by bus\, motorcycle and becak\, locating the various ‘pabrik gula’ and bringing back a snapshot not only of the railways but also the lives of the people of this Indonesian island.  Whilst there is now little or nothing left of these wonderful little railways\, as road transport has rendered them largely redundant\, David will be recalling the people he met\, the ‘Beast Of Tasik Madu’ and places his visited during his photographic wanderings. \nDoors open 13:30 for a 14:00 start. \nThere will be an extended interval break! (with Christmas “nibbles”)

SUMMARY:Railways Remembered Lake District and North Lancashire
DESCRIPTION:Railways Remembered: Lake District and North Lancashire \nThis title is a follow-up to Railways Remembered: North East England and is due for publication in spring 2026. One of the co-authors\, Charles Roberts\, tells how the project came to fruition\, illustrating his talk with a series of maps and images\, most of which didn’t quite make the cut for the finished product. In full colour\, it follows a similar format using Carlisle and the Preston-Blackburn-Burnley axis as its north and south boundary points. Featured heavily are the West Coast Main Line\, with its steep grades\, water troughs and remote scenery\, and the Cumbrian Coast. Long closed branches to places such as Silloth\, Keswick\, Coniston and Lake Side also feature. All facets of railway operations are covered: steam\, diesel and electric; town and country; freight and passenger; BR and industry.
