THE 10¼in gauge Ferry Meadows Railway (FMR), which runs in Nene Park, Peterborough, is to be operated by new owners this year. Vendors David and Sue Coging, who are retiring, said the railway has been sold “to a young Peterborough couple who are already in the leisure industry.”
The new management is due to take over on April 1 – and Mr and Mrs Cogings will help out until the end of the school summer holidays.
The railway has been sold complete and in situ. However, the line’s Darjeeling-type 0-4-0ST+T is being sold separately. In early January, it was advertised for sale at £60k or nearest offer. The locomotive is expected to operate at the FMR on Sundays in March – weather permitting, after which steam traction is no longer expected to feature at the FMR.
