Maid Marian Returns

Written by Bob Greenhalgh
Friday, 01 June 2007
Monday 28 May 2007 saw Maid Marian make a triumphant return to service at the Bala Lake Railway. Despite unfavourable weather forecasts we had a dry day with sunny spells. Maid Marian poses with Alice at Llanuwchllyn - copyright Bob Greenhalgh Thanks to the skills of Roger Hine Maid Marian was resplendant in her new red livery. And with a blast of confetti Whilst Holy War and then Alice worked the first two trains of the day Maid Marian basked in the sun and posed for the many photographers . Prior to working the last two trains of the day, Marian Gwynne made a marvelous speech, confetti canons were fired and Maid Marian officially re-entered service. Bob Greenhalgh (driver) and his 2 firemen (Matt & John Downes) pose by Maid Marian - copyright Brenda Downes With Firemen John and Matthew Downes and Driver Bob Shell she performed superbly. Donations Still Needed Donations to the boiler fund are still very much needed, so please do make a donation. Details from the Maid Marian Fund
