Harlington? Used to be one there years ago - went on it as a lad.


Still there last year.

A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood.
That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes

I'd suggest the Swanley New Barn Railway, in Swanley Park, Kent.
App. 15 minutes from Swanley Station.

Open at the weekends until November.

Website is at :- www.snbr.20m.com

Also, the Canvey Railway & Model Engineering Society will be running
their railway on Sundays until the beginning of October.

Situated in the grounds of the Waterside Farm sports centre, Canvey
Island, Essex, app. 15 minutes from Benfleet Station. (c2c).

Is there still one in Barking Park, parallel to the Ilford-Barking Road?


The track was there 2 years ago, but I don't know if the trains were still
running.

I just asked a friend from Barking and can confirm that the trains do
still run.

I wrote to the Council about it and have a contact phone number for the guy
who currently has the franchise (same one who runs boats on the lake).

Thought I'd ring him and ask him what he knows about the railway's history.
