Yes, it runs 3 or 4 days per week - it’s the reason the line is still open basically.Its good to see that line being used...
Does the sand train still go down to the Glassworks?
Ah good good. I was under the impression the Glassworks has closed or the sand was coming in via lorry.Yes, it runs 3 or 4 days per week - it’s the reason the line is still open basically.
