THE award-winning Tracks to the Trenches event will return to the Apedale Valley Light Railway for a third time next year, it has been confirmed.

The event, centred round a recreation of a Western Front trench, brings together narrow gauge locomotives and rolling stock that were used in the First World War and the roles that they played in the conflict.
