On Sunday
3rd August 2008 at 12 noon The Mayor of Brighton and TV presenter
Nicholas Owen will officially launch the 125th Anniversary of Volk's Electric
Railway.
A special train composed of cars 7
& 8 in their new cream and burgundy livery will then proceed from Aquarium
Station to Halfway, where Nicholas will open a new exhibition about the railway
adjacent to the car sheds at Banjo Groyne.
Other events will continue throughout the week and details
of those will appear here as they are finalised.
One very special event
will happen, weather permitting, on Saturday 9th
August when members of the Volk's Electric Railway Association will
operate a service over the line from the end of normal daily running through
until 9.00pm - which means that the electric cars will be running with their
lights on in the dark - an event not seen for at least 50
years!
Remember to bookmark this
page to keep up to date with other events during the 125
celebrations. |
