Wow, A Jolly Well Done to the ”Eagerly-Must-Visit” Spectacular South Devon Railway – Buckfastleigh on doing well, so far on their fundraising role in helpfully fighting back/combating Covid-19… in anyways possible.
The SDR-Buckfastleigh aren’t the only ones been successfully doing well on one’s own Urgent Appeal, to combat the dreary effects of Covid-19… As msot other fellow Heritage Railways & Transportation Attractions have been too.
I do hope the South Devon Railway (which I myself, still hope to visit ‘in-person’ someday) keeps it up… Even As I Wish them Good Luck on their part in doing well so far, during such An infamous period the whole British Isles are bravely going through.
