| It has been suggested that we make the visitors books subject of our station report. | ||||||||
| We have tried to select entries of all types, good, bad, funny or serious. Here are | ||||||||
| just a few taken from a total of ten thousand or more. | ||||||||

| Apart from delving through old visitors books this has been a very busy time for | ||||||||
| the volunteers. The unscheduled closure has given us a rare opportunity to get long | ||||||||
| overdue jobs done | ||||||||
| without stoppages each time a train comes in! | ||||||||
| Jobs in progress include many left over from the | ||||||||
| 1996 opening such as plaster repairs, painting, glazing, replacing dodgy doorframes, panelling | ||||||||
| and outside jobs such as pruning, planting and general tidying. | ||||||||
