If you have to go to the passport office in Peterborough at short notice, popping in to the NVR on the way back home seemed like a good idea. We rolled up at 2.00 in the hope of a late lunch, but the kitchen at the café had stopped serving minutes before we sat down, leaving very little choice from a restricted menu. The last time we were there, we had been very impressed with the café and the wide range of food on offer, but things have obviously changed and the formerly detailed chalk boards on the wall advertising what was available were scrubbed clean.
The NVR were celebrating Railway 200 over the weekend with the
LNWR coal tank No. 1054 visiting from the K&WVR and ex-GWR Large Prairie
No. 4144 on loan from Didcot. The ex-LT diesel shunter was offering footplate
rides for a fiver between the station at Wansford and the entrance to the
sheds.
