MEMORIES of a railtour which ran 60 years ago were rekindled at the Spa Valley Railway’s February 9-11 Winter Steam Gala.
On March 22, 1964, the Railway Correspondence and Travel Society (RCTS) and Locomotive Club of Great Britain jointly organised the ‘Sussex Downsman’tour.
SR‘Battle of Britain’4-6-2 No. 34066 Spitfire took charge of the excursion from Tunbridge Wells West –which today is preserved as part of the Spa Valley line.
