supper a be more because there's I'm
gonna get it writing this in the stress
of a steam railway you remember when we
came through for is yesterday on the
Inverness down to Aberdeen this railway
here would have gone up to Perez and
Vicki's off in the distance
chatting Oh lovely gentlemen who are
gonna catch up with and I can see the
steam engine
[Music]

[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
okay it's about to get noisy because
they've now let me up into the footplate
as well
oh yeah okay
[Applause]
[Music]
I want to shake the gentleman's hand say
thank you could we see your hands we're
at the stress spray Railway and I'm
talking to the wonderful dark hello
there's a little bit about the railway
itself well doctor bitchin shutdown in
October 1965 but thanks to some very
farsighted people we formed this last
baby all the company I wasn't involved
with that but the people who formed this
festival accompany a division to reopen
the close line between Albemarle and
Granton and Spey we bought the line in
1971 took us seven years to restore it
to a wonderful condition and since 1978
we've operated a public service on
railway using steam locomotives and
vehicles of this type every year since
then and we intend to keep doing that
far into the future we run the railway
mainly with volunteers but because we're
running seven days a week in the high
season we need to have full-time staff
too we need two full-time staff to
operate the railway and also to maintain
it we like the volunteers to do the
kilometres and the enjoyable bits which
is running the trains but we need people
who have the skills and the competence
to maintain both the railway and the
locomotives and carriages and wagons so
if people think ah that's
good I'd like to be involved in that I'd
like to be part of that history and to
volunteer and uncommon and help out how
can they do that they can do that very
easily we try and make it pretty
straightforward mr. spera company
website www.marykay.co.uk/awilliam visit
and
has required you look at people all
talking to each other they always seem
to know each other it can be quite
daunting to think as a newcomer
how will I fit into that people don't
need to worry about that we're all
absolutely delighted to get more people
who want to come and join us
[Music]
we have made it to cloud bridge but the
nice nil gave us a lift basically after
we went to the railway to car bridge
which is the next stop up a line it's
the one in between here in the middle
you can just go one stop Norman what
that means we actually get on the train
and what's happened here rather
interesting me that there although
there's two platforms and a footbridge
Neil was saying that they do normally
actually just run both trains in on this
platform because if somebody wants
step-free access the northbound train
and southbound trains both use the
platform to on this side you can see the
distance there it just goes back to
being a single track again and what's
interesting is that the southbound train
1325 to Edinburgh is actually delayed
and it's not even saying where it is and
so what might happen is it go and stand
on the footbridge because they might
actually cross the trains here so the
delayed southbound one might come
through on platform 2
he's coming in on this side that side
this side
thank you
and that's the last trade of the day to
evidence
and the final thing
[Music]
I need the spreadsheet for the precise
wording but the gentleman who pioneered
radar and his wife who headed up this
program this is right you headed up the
the WAC
[Music]
during the Civil War at one point they
lived in people hurry and they're buried
in the tomb to develop what did you call
it Pitlochry
Pippin Opry
I've eaten pit mockery

really not want I really should have
been criticizing people
[Music]
what is it
