Good year in store for NRP

Next year is set to be a good year for NRP, with visits to various preserved lines around the country. The chosen lines are the Mid Hants, Churnet Valley, Keighley and Worth Valley, North Yorkshire Moors, East Lancs, Welsh Highland, Ffestiniog, Llangolllen, Ravenglass and Eskdale, Bure Valley and Romney Hythe and Dymchurch.

We have also arranged a special summer visit to the Isle of Man, to record action on the railways there. A 2 day stint on the Isle of Man Steam Railway has been organised. We plan to spend 2 evenings filming on the Groudle Glen Railway as well.

We are also planning to follow several Mainline Steam Tours around the country during the year, producing twice monthly issues of the new "NRP Steam Magazine".

Two visits to France are being planned to cover the 40th Anniversary Celebrations at the narrow gauge Petite Train De La Haute Somme in Picardy, Northern France. Darjeeling "B" class No.19 will visit for this special occasion.

Miniature Railways will also be covered this year for the first time. Among the chosen lines are the Swanley New Barn, Moors Valley, Merstham Valley, Eastleigh Lakeside, Eastleigh Lakeside and the Beer Heights Light Railway in Cornwall.

2011 will also see a special programme made about the new London Overground network in Central London. A London Underground programme will also be produced.

"London Trains" will be a video magazine giving the latest news on lines in and around London.

Some of the programmes will hopefully have special narration provided by 15 year old Narnia actress Georgie Henley. She is due to provide the narration for the KWVR Gala production as well as the "NRP Steam Magazine Christmas Special" at the end of next year.

We are really looking forward to making all the new programmes next year.

Chris Nelson,
Managing Director
