Nevertheless, 2007 has been a sucessful year at my own line, the Ruislip Lido Railway. We've seen diesel loco Lady of the Lakes and our P-Way coach return to service after refurbishment at Severn-Lamb, and steam loco Mad Bess return to traffic after nine months out of service. We've also introduced two new special events for this year, the Easter Eggspresses and the Starlight Express, both of which have been highly successful, and in April we carried our (estimated) one-millionth passenger since the society took over the line in 1979, quite an impressive achievement. Furthermore, after a successful trial at an event in Croxley in June, it has been agreed that the society's original locomotive, Robert, which last year the society voted to sell, will now be retained to promote the RLR at outside events. So overall, not a bad year - let's hope we can keep it up in 2008! B)
