FAMILIES returning to the Watercress Line this spring will be ‘chuffed’ to discover a brand new locomotive playground. The themed play area at Ropley Station will help the railway get back on track now the lockdown restrictions are lifted. The new attraction has been modelled on Southern Railway Schools Class Locomotive No 30925 Cheltenham. Youngsters can let off steam exploring the replica train, which features a tunnel, a slide, a fireman’s pole and lots to climb on. In the play area, there’s a basket swing and a climbing wagon for toddlers. Seating is provided on a luggage trolley! The playground has been funded with a £40,000 grant from South Western Railway’s Customer and Communities Improvement Fund and £15,000 from the Government’s Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport’s Covid Recovery Fund.

A fundraising page has been set up in an attempt to help desperate riding schools survive the next month.
The Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) wants to raise as much as possible, to get yards through to 29 March, when they can give lessons again.
H&H has reported on the struggles faced by riding schools in this third national lockdown, with all the normal winter costs of keeping horses, no income and very little financial support.
ABRS trustee George Baber told
H&H it is clear there are a number of riding schools “on the brink of closure”, and that between 10 and 20% of its school members have closed in the past year.
