Groudle Railway birthday

by isleofman.com 20th July 2006
It’s popular with young and old alike and will celebrate reaching the grand old age of 110 this weekend.

The Groudle Glen railway will mark the occasion of its birthday with a special ceremony and services on Saturday before a gala day on Sunday.

And that means there’ll be the opportunity to take a ride on either the Sea Lion, steam locomotive Polar Bear or some of her engine friends.

One of the Groudle volunteers, Tony Beard, says some special guests have also been invited:
