On the 26th April 2003 we made a trip to the kirklees light railway accompanied by Beckys parents.
This is a narrow gauge steam railway along 8 miles of disused branch line. The start of the line is at the clayton west station where there is a large car park, childrens play area, nice cafe and even a ride on a passenger carrying model railway round a duck pond.
