  7. Hello Just a last point on parking, it does get busy at the stadium, and the carpark will fill up quickly, when this has you will be directed by our stewards to park in the overflow carpark in the hospital, and not before. When you arrive at the overflow carpark you will be given a ticket to display. We a have limited number of stewards so please be patient with them as they will endeavour to find you a space as quickly as they can. If unsure please double check where you are parking, as you don't want to end up with a ticket! Thanks SEEYA ANT
  8. Hello All Just a point on parking, it does get busy at the stadium, it will fill up quickly, as we only have a few hundred free places, once these are full you will be directed by our stewards to park in the hospital, we have hired one of the hospital staff car parks like in previous years, though this is likely this will fill too. Please be patient with the stewards as they will endeavour to find you a space as quickly as they can. There will be plenty of spaces in the adjacent hospital car parks as these are lightly used at weekends, but these charge, there are pay and display plus take your ticket and pay as you leave barrier type parking. If unsure please double check where you are parking, as you don't want to end up with a ticket! Please do not park in staff only carparks. As has been suggested many times park at the Friarscroft carpark by Morrisons in the town centre and get our vintage bus in from Aylesbury Station carpark, there is a short walk from the Elm Farm Shops bus stop to the exhibition. Thanks SEEYA ANT
  9. Hello All Those of you who are taking the advantage of using the Free Vintage Bus, please can you if possible have the exact change for when you are buying your Railex ticket £9 and Programme £1 from the Bus Team, as this will help speed things along. We have plenty of tickets to purchase. Thanks SEEYA ANT

  16. Event Name: FestiRail Model Railway Exhibition Classification: Exhibition Address: Community Centre(adjacent to Springs swimming pool), Wades Park, Stratton Road, Princes Risborough, Bucks, HP27 9AX Day 1: 7th of July 2018 Opening times Day 1: 11.00am - 4.00pm Prices: FREE Disability access: Yes Car parking: No Website: http://www.rdmrc.org.uk Organising body: Risborough & District Model Railway Club The whole of the Community Centre is taken over for one day as part of the Princes Risborough Town Festival Week. Allowing the Club to display various model making demonstrations, along with a number of layouts to include, Okehampton (O), Aylesbury Town (P4), Loughborough Road (OO), Ottilies (OO) and the Shunting Puzzle (O), plus please note we are proud to present the last ever full public showing of Geoff Williams’s iconic 1:76 scale Aylesbury LNWR layout. This fifty-five year old model of the former Aylesbury High Street station (once situated where Vale Park is today) represents faithfully the whole station complex - including engine shed, goods yard and adjoining gas works - as it would have looked in the year 1911. Built to a very high standard of realism the model achieves a convincing sense of scenic depth through the decreasing perspective of the background building, and provides a possibly the last opportunity to view a pre First World War scene of Aylesbury. Being originally built into Geoff’s loft the layout has since been adapted for public viewing, for its appearance at FestiRail, which it is anticipated will attract considerable interest both from local residents and from the wider exhibition-going public - particularly as this opportunity is un-likely to be repeated by the Club. Only disabled car parking places are available at the Community Centre, therefore all other visitors are required to park in the Mount Carpark in Stratton Road (Follow brown Leisure Centre signs to just past St. Mary's Church). Please note that this is pay and display. Half hourly bus service from Aylesbury or High Wycombe. 15 minute walk from Chiltern Railway station with regular trains from Birmingham, Banbury, Aylesbury or London Marylebone, 25 minutes drive from M40 Junction 6 via B4009. Light refreshments will be available. Photograph by Andy York, courtesy of BRM.
