Bluebell Railway - 'Road Meets Rail' 17/07/2021

The Bluebell Railway's first event of the year provided an excellent showcase of historic steam traction, both on and off the rails. 'Road Meets Rail' saw a variety of steam traction engines gathered at Horsted Keynes station, with road building and wood cutting demonstrations throughout the event. In the paddock field, various fair ground attractions congregated as well as refreshment kiosks and a beer tent. On the rails, an intensive timetable was in use, with two service trains operating along the railway; these were planned to be handled throughout by 4MT Tank - 80151 and S15 - 847. However, the latter proved problematic in the morning, with O1 - 65 and Q Class - 30541 covering duties in the S15's absence. The O1 would later take the helm of a wedding special for the day, for Evan & Theresa, as part of their celebrations - and wishing the happy couple all the best. In addition, 30541 provided shunting demonstrations within the station limits of Horsted Keynes, adding to the authentic feel of the event.
