TRACK TALK

➜ Thank you, big Corris fan

ON behalf of the Corris Railway, may I seek your help in passing on our thanks for two donations we have received from a person who has provided no contact details to allow us to formally thank them directly. I believe these donations may have followed publicity in your pages.

We have a name, plus a suspicion that they live in the North West of England, but as the person prefers anonymity I hope that they recognise themselves from the following information and accept our thanks for their support.

Last summer, following publicity about work in progress building the embankment for our Southern Extension, a donation was made and, more recently, another towards our Corris station development which includes the installation of a traverser.

The Corris Railway is always grateful for support it receives from enthusiasts and does try to acknowledge receipt of donations.

If any reader recognises themselves from this information, please accept our thanks for your support.

John Wallbridge, Corris Railway Society

➜ We need to mine steam coal here

WITH regards to the serious problem of the future of steam coal supplies, the pressure has to be put on the Government via as many ways as possible, which could involve the public.

We surely require one or two coal mines for the right type of coal over the next five to 10 years at least, until other suitable sources are found.
