More usable mileage returns to the S & D

Just before christmas the GLR's track mileage was extended. The head shunt at Park Lane was extented by 14ft. Giving us plenty of room for those double headed specials & maybe one day Double Headed Steam summer saturday. Look at space left, after this small install, there's now discussions on whether we could extend the loop in the station at Park Lane bay about 20ft further.


I have to admit i've only got 1 piccy but my claim to fame is that, I was the first to travel this bit of track by train for approx 42 years.
