B17 Trust B17 Trust

Members of Brampton U3A (Transport Group) visited March to explore the town's railway heritage on Monday 13th March 2023.

Local March B17 SLT members provided transport for the tour of facilities, past and present, and to give a commentary. Starting at the extensive station and with the assistance of Friends of March Railway Station, access was gained to buildings on the Up platform where FoMRS have their railway layouts, museum displays and library. A walk to the memorial in Whitemoor that honours the crew of an RAF Wellington bomber that crashed in the yard during WWII concluded the tour.
