Crowborough Miniature Railway set to reopen for Easter

The railway at Goldsmiths Recreation Ground has extended its station canopy to form an all over 'train shed' style roof to improve weather protection.

The signal box also received a thorough spring clean, as it gears up for the grand reopening day.
