Branch Line Society will host two fantastic rail excursions in order to raise funds for the charity Martin House Hospice.

The charity provides hospice family-led care for both children and young people with life-limiting and life-threatening illnesses either within the hospice itself or at the family home. The hospice supports families in West, North and East Yorkshire.

The Harrow Marrow will take place on Sunday the 16th of July and follows on from The Merry Wherry Tour on Saturday the 15th of July which will also see fundraising activities for the Martin House Hospice.

After the weekend of rail touring for a fantastic cause, both the locomotive and coaching stock need to arrive back at Wembley on Sunday evening.

The Harrow Marrow will be hauled by Class 50 50008 and will make use of comfortable Mark 3 coaching with the added benefit of air-conditioning and a buffet car which will offer an array of drinks, snacks and light refreshments.

A charity raffle will take place onboard, which will see all proceeds donated to Martin House Hospice.
