What did the officials say?
Lynda Stone, Community Rail Partnership Officer for Essex County Council said:
“We hope many families will join us for this great day out by train to the Essex seaside. They will be able to spend the day enjoying all that Walton-on-the-Naze has to offer and return at their leisure by any train. We have already held one successful bucket and spade train event, which was enjoyed by more than 100 people.”
Paul Haynes, Community Partnerships Manager, Greater Anglia, said:
“A day out by rail offers so much fun for families and it’s so easy and good value. We hope these trips will be a great success.”
