Peter would radiate happiness arriving at the Watercress Line. Over his lifetime there were many, many excursions to enjoy the sight of a steam train in action, starting as a child playing truant from school spending pocket money on a platform ticket, before taking his family and friends to many heritage railways over the years from Ffestiniog to Swanage and Dartmouth to East Kent. The Watercress Line being so close to home became the number one steam destination, many happy hours being spent there, even on one occasion driving a locomotive as his 60th birthday treat. As Peter takes his final journey, your donation in his memory to the Watercress Line will be much appreciated. He would be delighted to be making a difference towards the preservation of the local steam railway about which he was so passionate. Next time you see or ride a steam train, please raise a glass (or flask of coffee) in Peter's memory as the engine steams by. Please see below the Watercress Line's own description of their charitable aims:- The aims of the Watercress Line Heritage Railway Trust is to preserve, operate and exhibit for public benefit and education, all kinds of railway transportation systems, vehicles and equipment; to foster and support railway preservation.We operate a heritage railway - the Watercress Line - along part of the former Southern Railway, a 10 miles journey between Alresford and Alton in Hampshire, using a fleet of heritage locomotives and rolling stock.Whilst we derive income from c.125,000 visitors each year, this is typically only sufficient to cover operating costs. To sustain this heritage railway in the future, we need to raise funds - your donations will be much appreciated.We thank you for your support and, if possible, hope to see you at the Watercress Line soon.
