THE Leighton Buzzard Railway is to hold its 50th anniversary gala over the weekend of September 30 and October 1, with up to 10 locomotives in steam.
The event will celebrate 50 years since the initial formal meeting held in October 1967 that led to the formation of the preservation society.
A special train service will be in operation each day with nine departures from Page’s Park to Stonehenge Works.
