Telford Steam Railway will be reopening to visitors tomorrow for the first time since an accident last summer which forced its closure.
The volunteer-run railway was forced to shut to the public in July last year after chairman Paul Hughes’s legs were crushed by a piece of railway track.
Newlywed Paul has recovered and returned to work on the railway, but trains have not run since the accident, which happened on July 2 last year.
Dave Angell, 52, the railway’s marketing manager, said the volunteers were now looking forward to putting the accident behind them and welcoming visitors back to the track, which runs from Horsehay.
