Great article COlin!

I can remember visiting the Gateshead Festival - the main purpose was to go on the railway. It had quite an impressive girder bridge I seem to remember. The coaches carried adverts for Dr. Who

One of the senior tram drivers at Beamish was one of the techicans at the Festival. Apparantly when they were testing trains before the festival opened they had to spend quite a bit of time adjusting brakes as one of the drivers came back rather pale. River Irt was the steamer of choice as she was a bit more sure footed on the circuit.
