Neville Hill Depot Open Day

[Old Timer]

Mods : If this is in the wrong place then please feel free to move it. I couldn't work out the best location for it to be honest.

This was sent to me a short while ago.

On Sunday 13 September, Northern Rail, in conjunction with EMT, are holding a Community Open Day at Neville Hill depot. The day will run from 10:00 to 16:00 (last admission, 15:30).

For over 130 years, the people of Neville Hill and its surroundings have helped to keep the railways running. Come and join us when Neville Hill Depot will be open to the public to celebrate its railway heritage and also its place within the community.

Great things to see and do:
How we maintain the trains you travel on
Displays on how the depot used to be and plans for the future
Local community stalls
Classic locos and other traction
Live music
Railway memorabilia for sale
AND the Leeds Rhinos
Plus much....much... more.

Refreshments are available on site, and all proceeds from the event will be donated to charity.

Tickets:
Early entry ticket - £10
Family ticket (2 adults, 2 children) £5

Keep an eye on the Northern website then. Prior to Neville Hill this year, they had an open day at Heaton last year, and Newton Heath the year before that.
