Our main 2024 season draws to a close!
It has been a fantastic year for Fox & Edwards Events supporting our wonderful partner steam railways all around the country. We thought we would share some of our favourite highlights.
We've enjoyed busy family days at several of our partner railways with some friendly famous characters including Bluey and her sister Bingo, Peppa Pig, Peter Rabbit and Paddington. In addition, we've launched our popular Extinct Express dinosaur themed family fun event.
We have been in a position to support some of our railways by purchasing rolling stock to aid with their operations. At the start of the year, our Mark 1 bar coach moved to the WyvernRail plc - The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway in Derbyshire and recently we have purchased a Mark 1 compartment carriage to aid operations at Gwili Steam Railway in South Wales.
We've been able to expand to support more railways than ever with us operating our first trains north of the border in Scotland last month, at Bo'ness & Kinneil Railway. We're really looking to expanding to a full programme there next year! Thanks also to Tanfield Railway, Bluebell Railway and the Watercress Line where we debuted journeys with fish and chips this year and to Swanage Railway for our continued partnership.
To support the growing operation, we've welcomed on board several new team members including Leigh, our Operations Manager who joined in the summer. We’ve been supported by our new enquiries support team members Kate and Clare. Our Event Coordinators team has also expanded to welcome all of our lovely visitors including Jacqui, Andrea, Alan, Trish, Izzy, Brendan, Samantha, Beth and Robin to name a few.
We were in a fortunate position to be able to sponsor a categorHeritage Railway Associationay Association awards, speak at the November conference and we're looking forward to be supporting the House of Lords Reception next week.
