Telford Steam Railway's volunteers are gearing up for its 150th anniversary this year with an annual Easter Bunny Extravaganza on Easter Sunday and Monday, April 12th and 13th. The bunny will give children Easter Eggs and adults a hot cross bun! 2009 is exciting. It's 150 years since a train first travelled from Wellington to Shifnal through Horsehay on May 2. TSR has a gala season arranged including a commemorative event. Joining TSR this year is a new steam locomotive, built in Belgium of an unusual vertical boiler design.

Their new station at Lawley is well underway. Opportunities to view the progress will be available at all their special events and if possible, demonstrations might run. See their leaflet or visit www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk for details. Or call 07765 858348.
