This video, by Neil Denham of Bellingham, shows the arrival of a Mk 1 railway coach at the Heritage Centre at Bellingham on Wednesday 13 April 2011. The coach has made the long journey by road from Okehampton in Devon via Ferrybridge in N. Yorkshire. A second coach will follow later. These coaches will be refurbished and refitted for use as, respectively, extra exhibition/learning space, and a tea-room. Work will be completed by the end of October 2011. The Heritage Centre's "Wannie Line" exhibition will be available semi-permanently on display in the exhibition coach. Funding for this project has been received from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Northumberland Uplands LEADER Programme. The Heritage Group Bellingham is a registered charity, No. 1041300.

  • The Second Coach has now arrived, and have both have been 'jacked' from the temporary track, laid by the transport company, to the permanent track laid by Aln Valley Trust. The Heritage Centre at Bellingham, 20 April 2011. New video (Part 2) here.

  • @RustonDave Thank you for the comment. We believe we made the best choice possible in the circumstances. The coaches will give us terrific extra spaces for displays, including our 'Wannie Line' (Wansbeck) exhibition, and talks, and work with school groups and young people; and, for the first time, a tea room. That is, once we have cleaned them, refurbished them and refitted them...! Even the non-railway buffs among us are excited. We have six very busy months ahead of us. New video next week.

  • I don't want to sound critical but... Oh dear - Why weren't Allelys used as recommended? and a EMU in Northumberland - hmmm.

  • @HeritageTrain That's very kind of you - we appreciate it.

  • @MarcusFalco Thanks for that - much appreciated.

  • With best wishes to all involved in this enterprise.

  • A great start - well done to all involved
