Yesterday's Exhibition at Frome - 31 January 2016
We held an exhibition at the Frome Cheese & Grain and the Railfuture Severnside meeting was alongside. We had many local visitors, more than even we had expected. Again, the the working model of the proposed Mells Road site was operating and attracted much interest. The updated Train Simulator was running throughout the day and generated excitement from all visitors,
