Did the 14-mile Brampton Valley Way today through a spring-ful #Northamptonshire . Plenty of sunshine (apart from inside the slightly flooded tunnels), and finished at the lovely
N & L Railway

#FrontEndFriday One final 📸 from the N & L Railway last weekend. 31289 was working on the Saturday, sharing the passenger services & doing brake van rides, on the occasion of the southern extension opening. Seen here about to run back into Boughton station. #NLR #Class31 30/3/24

#FrontEndFriday 31289 'Phoenix' catches the sun between duties at Boughton station on the N & L Railway. My favourite loco, first one I ever drove, worked on, got up close to. The one that has ignited a passion 😁

#MarkOneMonday The N & L Railway has become the proud owners of this BSK, acquired from the Bodmin and Wenford. Numbered S34627 it has room for bugs and bikes, another wheelchair compartment, 3 passenger compartments and a bar. A very useful addition!

Official opening today of ⁦N & L Railway⁩ extension to Broughton today, Austerity 3193 hauling the first train for invited guests. ⁦The Railway Magazine⁩ Line parallels the Brampton Way for those into walking/cycling.

Big day at N & L Railway today, the official opening of the extension to Boughton station. 31289 waits at the head of the first departure from the new station, the 11.30 to Pitsford & Brampton, for VIPs & invited guests. #NLR #Class31 #HeritageDiesel 30/3/24

Seen from the new platform, 31289 waits in Boughton station loop after arriving with the 12.15 brake van service from Pitsford & Brampton. Red pen track for me & getting the loop in was a bonus. The ped then took the 13.30 departure back to P&B. N & L Railway #Class31 #NLR 30/3/24

#MondayMorningBlues Making no apologies for tweeting another 📸 of 31289 'PHOENIX' from the N & L Railway extension opening day event on Saturday. Seen here moving back onto the mk2 set in Boughton station prior to working the 11.30 VIPex to Pitsford & Brampton. #NLR 30/3/24

N & L Railway for the opening of Boughton Station 30.3.24
Very efficient but relaxed and a few hours passed very quickly.

Amazing to be invited to the opening of the extension N & L Railway . I am so proud of staff and students for completing work on the railway. There is such a heritage skills gap, so it is an amazing opportunity for construction students ɴᴏʀᴛʜᴀᴍᴘᴛᴏɴ ᴄᴏʟʟᴇɢᴇ. Chris Heaton-Harris MP Northampton Chron

#SemaphoreSunday from the N & L Railway yesterday. 31289 runs back onto the stock waiting in the platform at the newly opened Boughton station prior to hauling the 11.30 service to Pitsford & Brampton, the first passenger train departure. #NLR #Class31 #HeritageDiesel 30/3/24

#ShunterSunday from the N & L Railway yesterday. They have services running across the Easter weekend, well worth a visit and to travel on the newly opened southern extension to Boughton (where this pic was taken). There is also parking available at the Boughton end. #NLR 30/3/24

What a great day yesterday was, we had record numbers turn out at the N & L Railway to celebrate with us as we opened our new Boughton station. I must admit I had a tear in my eye. Thanks to everyone that came including Chris Milner 🦊, Kinetic_Rail, Andy H and Shawn Collier

Sat 30th March. Boughton station Opening Day! An intensive timetable to celebrate the opening of our new station. 17 years in the making! Come and celebrate with us! nlr.org.uk

#NewProfilePic Back in my happy place, driving 31289 'Phoenix' at the N & L Railway's Mother's Day special. Sold out today which is brilliant

A great place to catch up on some back episodes of #Railnatter podcast podcast - inside an old signal box putting the finishing touches to some replica gas lamps for a new Heritage Railway station which is due to open on Easter Saturday. @nlrailway

We are delighted to announce that we now have a defibrillator at Pitsford & Brampton Station.
We would like to express our thanks to Ourjayfoundation for donating the defibrillator.
The unit is prominently located by our station entrance, meaning it is accessible to the public 24/7.
