Our next meeting is on Thursday 22 October 2026 when Brimington’s own – Malcolm Pyatt – will be talking more about his interesting and varied life on the railways and currently as a part-time Associate Priest at St John’s Parish Church, Newbold. He’ll be talking particularly about his railway career after Barrow Hill depot closed. See our meetings page for full details. All are welcome to attend.

We are currently working on our 2027 programme, which we hope to announce over the coming weeks.
