Many people will remember the days when Mablethorpe still had its own railway station, the level crossing in the High Street and the ‘Trip Trains’ which used to arrive in the town on Summer weekends from all over the Midlands.
All this came to an end when the line closed back in 1970, but some of those memories will be revived at the town’s library when local railway author Alf Ludlam will be giving an illustrated talk on the trains to the county’s seaside resorts, including Mablethorpe and Sutton on Sea.
The event, which has been organised in conjunction with the Lincolnshire Wolds Railway Society, is free and will held on Wednesday 21st September from 3pm to 4.30pm at Mablethorpe Library in Stanley Avenue.
The photo shows passengers at Mablethorpe station queueing to board their train back to Nottingham on Saturday 15th August, 1964.
