Mad Bess, the Ruislip Lido Railway's steam loco, should return from overhaul in the next few weeks and should be in passenger service by mid June.

More recent news from Ruislip Lido:


  • Robert has been moved from the carriage shed back into the workshop for the wheelsets to be repaired.
  • John Rennie was running passenger trains today after a prolonged period out of service, following modifications.
  • Open coach No. 304 has been repainted. Other coaches have had their livery revised by the removal of the "RUISLIP LIDO RAILWAY" letting; this has been replaced by the RLR logo, positioned near floor level on the central bodyside panel. Coach numbers have also been moved from the bodysides to the ends.


Still no sign of Bess I'm afraid, more news on that story as it breaks...

Muz - does this mean with the wheelsets being repaired that we might see Robert hauling trains - or at least out on the tracks at some point?

I understand the plan is to run it at some point this year, to celebrate the Society's 30th anniversary. However, whether or not it will be hauling fare-paying passengers I don't yet know.

Nevertheless, I personally think it is excellent news :)
