Halloween at
the Churnet Valley Railway
aboard the Ghost Train
Saturday 30th October 2004
Once again a sell-out event and once again very well received, the annual Halloween event was held at Consall this year.
Passengers were invited to board the Ghost Train at either Kingsley & Froghall or Cheddleton and travel into the Valley of the Dead at their peril. They did in their hundreds.
And they weren't disappointed !
The Porter at Kingsley & Froghall looked like he'd seen better days - maybe time to retire him ?
Meanwhile the tea room at Kingsley & Froghall looked like it could do with a good clean
Things were about to get worse down at Consall - a lot worse
Would you buy a drink from this lot ?
The men weren't much better either - things could only improve !
Unfortunately they didn't - cremated burgers and hot dogs courtesy of mad, bad Amy and Roger
Keeping them well supplied with rolls and burgers to cremate were these beauties - they had a hell of a time doing it !
Lurking in the darkness were some even stranger characters - I kept well away
But far worse was to come for anyone daring to look into the old carriage - a deranged Bride & Groom invited people into their lair for tea.
Enough to put you off marriage for life - he ate her leg later on !
Not surprisingly no-one felt the urge to go in so, instead, they took to touring the site being generally unpleasant.
No comment !
More grim goings on over the other end of the site
Free Toffee Apples if you dare approach this pair - not many did for some reason
Has Simon been at those burgers again ?
Many thanks to all the staff and volunteers that made the event possible. Sorry if i didn't manage to capture you on film - maybe next time ?
