A selection of photos from various trips to the Sherwood Forest Railway over the summer of 2008, taken on 14th June, 12th July, 11th and 30th August.

Over this time both locos have been in use, and later in August 'Pet' was being worked on for the gala at the Kirklees Light Railway in September.

Seeking new angls on a familiar line I was given permision to walk the lineside on 12th July, finding some interesting new viewpoints along the way.

The Sherwood Forest Railway's season ends in less than a week, on Sunday 28th September, with the usual intense service over the final weekend with all available stock in use...
