Proposed Trips

We are looking at a number of possible day trips for 2023:

  • Crossness Sir Joseph Bazalgette's Victorian sewage pumping station at Abbey Wood, containing the four largest remaining rotative beam engines in the world, and featuring the most astonishingly elaborate decorative ironwork.
    Travel is planned by rail, using the Elizabeth Line, Slough to Abbey Wood return.
    The trip very much depends on whether the steam engine 'Prince Consort' is back in service.
  • London Postal Museum A visit to the British Postal Museum, featuring a ride on the underground 2-foot gauge Post Office Railway.
    Travel is planned by rail, using the Elizabeth Line, Slough to Farringdon return.
  • Gloucester and Warwickshire Railway Travel is planned by coach. We are looking for an event rather than a normal running day
  • Severn Valley Railway Travel is planned by train: i.e. Slough to Kidderminster, via Worcester Foregate Street; or Gerrards Cross to Kidderminster, via High Wycombe and Birmingham Moor Street.
  • Middleton Railway, Leeds Possible visit to see progress on the rebuild of our steam locomotive, Slough Estates No.3.

These are all at the planning stage, and depend on sufficient interest being shown. (So do let us know which you would be interested in attending.) We will be looking at dates and details early in 2023.
