"Return of the Railways" event

IN 1853 not one byt two railway companies arrived in Grantown to what became known as Grantown East and Grantown West. Alas both lines closed after 100 years of very valuable service to the community and the closure proved very expensive to the town. Grantown East has subsequently been revitalised.

The 'railways to Grantown' project progresses and Grantown looks forward to the return of its rail service. Meanwhile, there are several fantastic modern railway layouts that deserve to be on show. With the support of the volunteers who build, maintain, look after and exhibit these, and the support of Doors Open Days, it is hoped to have these on display in Grantown for the Festival Weekend in the former Hydro shop.
