Chris Jackson will give an illustrated talk looking at Colonel Stephens and the Economical Railway. Victorian entrepreneur Lt-Colonel Holman Fred Stephens (18681931), was a great believer in low-cost railways and involved in around 50 projects. As opportunities for promoting new lines declined, his focus moved to running those that had been completed, managing a dozen or more standard and narrow gauge railways. Stephens was always looking for ways to build and operate railways more economically, and willing to explore innovative alternatives including a pioneering eet of petrol railcars. A er his death, long-time assistant William Austen led the surviving lines through to nationalisation. Visitors welcome. £5 on the door.
