Text Box: Welcome to Preserved Railway’s Online. I’ve been redesigning the website for a bit, but had problems keeping the size low, which is why the site has not been updated recently. But I have now updated the What’s On Guide with event details for special events in July and August and outlining details for some of the Autumn “Gala Season” events. One problem which I had while designing the new site was that I wanted to have photographs on the site, but within memory space this was not possible but I have set up a flickr account . I currently live in West Lancashire with regular visits in the North West available, including Ribble Steam Railway and Llangollen but come October a move down to London is seeming to be the order for university as long as a get the grades. This will hopefully see some new locations and railway visits with the Spa Valley and Bluebell Railway’s top of my Autumn railway visits lists. This will also hopefully mean seeing regular main line steam. I hope you enjoy my new website and I am well underway on the Railway A-Z section, with an mid/end of August completion date hopeful.
