Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway Totally Explained

Everything about Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway totally explained

Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway is a railway built in 1948 in Cleethorpes, North East Lincolnshire. It was originally built to a slightly smaller gauge.
   It used to be run by Cleethorpes Borough Council, but is now owned by Chris Shaw. Under his ownership the railway has expanded at its Westward end, with a bridge being built to take the line over the boating lake. A National Lottery grant enabled the railway to acquire stock from the long-dismantled Sutton Miniature Railway in the Midlands. Over the 2006/7 winter off-season, the Line was extended a further 900 yards to a new station at North Sea Lane, close to the Meridian Line car park and the Buck Beck estuary..
   In the 1960s, the line used diesel trains, followed by petrol-driven engines with a steam outline, though genuine steam locomotives are now in operation. On guest weekends, visiting engines from other 15" lines make an appearance.
   In 2007, the railway company took over the operation of the Scarborough North Bay Railway.
