The Watercress Line was established to take cress from the clean chalk rivers of Hampshire up to Covent Garden. Closed by Dr Beeching it is now a steam railway and last weekend it started its annual, two week, Thomas and friends event. My son Joshua lives and breathes Thomas, Percy, Gordon and Henry and so his godfather Lucian who lives near the line arranged for a day out. The first photo of the buggy store shows my boy is not the only Thomas obsessive.
And thereafter Joshua met his hero, had a ride on a mini train as well as on Thomas and on an express to Arlesford where we met Terence the traction engine and Bertie Bus before a visit to a local trout stream to see the fishes, ducks and swans. Finally the view from the car park as we left and the last train of the day pulled out.
