Alan Hiley walks us through a short history of the Ashby to Burton Light Railway.
A journey in photos along the old tramway route to see how it looked then and how it looks now. The tramway opened in 1906 and the journey was from the Town Hall in Burton-upon-Trent and journeyed through Swadlincote to Ashby-de-la-Zouch.
An Historical Society outside visit to The National Arboretum – A talk at 2:00 pm followed by a 50-minute guided land train tour around the site.
After the visit, there is a good café where we can order what we wish to have individually.
The price for the land train is £7.50. Parking is £6 per car on the day and allows occupants to stay all day.
