I hope that the staff on the railway are a damn site more polite than they were when we went over a couple of week ago! I don't think i've ever been to a preserved railway and felt more unwelcome by the staff and volunteers. We even saw one guy who was in a wheel chair stop a chap in station master / guards full uniform to ask a simple question. Before he had had a chance to finish asking his question the chap said "be quick man, i've only got 15 minutes for my lunch!" We were gob smacked, as was the guy in the wheelchair and his wife who was pushing him. They, and we, won;t be going back.
