STR - South Tynedale Railway

When the South Tynedale Railway were working on their signalbox at Alston, they discovered that the finials were more than a little worse for wear. Ian turned a couple of replicas, out of a suitable hardwood (I need to confirm the actual timber), for them.
...
The line was extended to Slaggyford in 2018 - giving a run of almost five miles, and their operations were hit very hard by financial disruption during the covid pandemic. The friendly volunteers work very hard and need the support. Operating times & more details are on their website .... www.south-tynedale-railway.org.uk
The "Crossing Cafe" aka "Hickins" at Alston is very dog-friendly, with the ambiance & food being excellent [2023, we go there quite often !].
[There are a couple of STR images in the Transport in General and Ben de-Dog albums]
