Back after a holiday break – and the weather is now looking good! Typical!

We were pleased to welcome Wilfie Pinch who has spent his first day working in the FRT shed. He is seen here with Sam preparing daily water treatment sachets for FR 20.
Finally, during Prime Day (which actually runs for two days!?!), tomorrow and Wednesday, Amazon is doubling donations on all eligible purchases made with AmazonSmile. That means if you buy during the 48-hour event using Amazon Smile you can get Amazon to donate to the Furness Railway Trust, at no expense to you, twice as much as usual!
