A
coachload of members of Elizabeth House and helpers enjoyed a splendid
day out at the Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, thanks to the generosity
of a local benefactor. Their
first stop was the excellent café in the Visitor Centre for
refreshments and home made cakes to which they later returned for a
buffet lunch. There
was plenty to see and learn across the extensive site. Amongst the
attractions was a Travelling Post Office where they could learn about
the Great Train Robbery which took place nearby in 1963 and sort
envelopes under expert guidance. By
common consent the highlight was a short steam train ride (Elizabeth
House manager Miriam Blazey had arranged the visit on a ‘steaming
day’). Riding in old fashioned railway carriages with a corridor
certainly brought memories back to many. |
