Railway200 Whistle Up!

We look forward to other activities and events throughout the year to mark this anniversary year!

Thank you for your dedication and hard work in saving this wonderful piece of history!!
Love it
I couldn’t go as I was on holiday
Avon valley railway on your next gala for 2025 or something would you be able to rent in a Manor or 7F again and run full line trains from 09:30 half an hour after you should start and end 20:30 half an hour before you end
Alot of money to hold an event like that it's 300,000 and alot of that money can be put into other stuff ect...
Its good with Cranford No.1919 for the Oldland shuttle and Wimblebury No.3839 on the full line service.Hopefully it'll be a great event
👉 P r o m o S M
I love your videos and your Railway
Finally a new video from the AVR!!!
AVR why don’t you do any more galas
1:33 was that a Kerr Stuart victory
i saw the owner of this locomotive on sunday at the avon valley railway for the war weekend where he brought along his old car
1:53 thats my son running along the platform and we put more than £100 towards that train. Thats my boys life
Why has the passing loop gone from the station and changed to a siding? Is there plans to bring it back? Curios to how it will effect future gala events
im not sure but i think it could be cause they only mainly use 1 platform and need siding space to store the stock they made it into a siding that could be why
This was done as part of work to replace the crossing surface over the winter. The point will be replaced in the future to include the headshunt in Platform 2 as it is now, which in turn gains us that extra bit of siding space. A temporary measure which does limit our operation a little for the time being but will ultimately help improve the railway in the future.
@@AVRbitton ah ok thx i was wondering how long it would be like that for
Thinking of volunteering, I don't live too far and I work on the Railway. I'll have to come along for a day out.
theres a mistake in the description in the description is says 31310 not 31130
Thanks for telling this whole story. Very interesting
Was there a part 6? Can't seem to find it
Perfunctory . More details and food other than bacon alone would make more interesting viewing .
Absolutely love the AVR - live in Longwell Green and visit every weekend. Keep up the good work.
Breakfast On The Run!😀🚂🛤️🥓🥚🍳🥩
When will the next installment be uploaded?
Very soon!
Nice
would you be so kind to inform me regarding 73101 The Royal Alex. is she a runner at the moment , and if not can you tell me more info regarding this particular loco. many thanks D. Gilbert.
Really well filmed and like the still photos you included of the loco working at the chocolate factory. Great!
+stanthesteam Thank you! Expect an update on this project in the next few months :)
Superb Corbs - will a longer version be on sale?
+stanthesteam Thanks! To be honest I've not really thought about selling longer versions of the videos, mind you, people like SatNavDan, Speed to the West, Slam Door Media, ITFCSam, SDJR7F88 and others do such a good job of overall coverage it'd be hard to compete!
Fantastic weekend. Well done and thanks to all concerned.
Good luck, fellas!
Amazing, the best gala I have ever visited to date! Cheers, Jack
Thanks Jack, glad you had fun!
Nice work!

An amazing story and an massive well done to the people who have brought her home! Really looking forward to seeing her back in steam on the AVR in the future!
