At last night’s EGM (29/05/08) the members of the Poulton and Wyre Railway Society witnessed the signing of the Trust Deed Document by the first Trustees: Dennis Goy, Dennis Bleakley and Peter Allcock. Peter although not present at the meeting said earlier "last night marked an important milestone, the formation of a trust gives us a professional framework on which to build a successful railway" "there is still a long way to go in the discussions with Network Rail, however, we hope that the formation of the trust shows NR that we really do mean business”. |

The PWRS have stumbled across an original Lancashire and Yorkshire railway carriage on farm land close to Thornton Station. The bogie-less carriage found on a farm owned by the Hodgkinson family is believed to be over 130 years old and is likely to have been used to carry passengers to and from Fleetwood, although for the last 90 years of its life the carriage has been stationary on the farm. Over this period it has been home to a convalescing railway worker, a local midwife, and chickens! |
