Swindon & Cricklade Railway:- Northern Extension opened
On Sunday 25th May, the Railway opened its northern extension. Running northwards from Hayes Knoll to South Meadow Lane, the extension doubles the passenger ride available to visitors and marks a significant step in reaching Cricklade. The extension took just over two years to complete, and was made possible by previously completing new sidings at Hayes Oak for the storage of rolling stock.

The Bank Holiday weekend also marked the 30th Anniversary of the Railway, and special facilities were laid on for members and invited guests. Other events included the official opening of a restored railway building from Malmesbury, which will be used as a training facility for staff.
