    Hi All,

    I am looking for information about excursions run by BR between 1955 and 1965 from Bedford to destinations including Kew(for Kew Gardens) and Windsor for a trip on the Thames.

    I remember going on such excursions from Luton with my parents but the details I have are sketchy.

    I would like to replicate such excursions on my WR mainline layout but lack details of Locos (black 5s maybe?) or timings and for the Windsor trip exact itineries. For instance I remember a Windsor trip and passing Runnymede on the Thames boat trip, but was this a round trip or did we leave the river elsewhere and rejoin our train that had travelled from Windsor while we were on the river?

    I guess similar excursions were run from other locations so details of such trips would be of interest.

    Many thanks
    Regards

    Paul
