“Pickering cancelled”
I go to Pickering for the war weekend, and to use the magnificent railway and ambience , but I feel this year will be my last. It has had a steady decline for the last 8 years. I agree that the conflict in Ukraine is a terrible situation but that should not stop us from remembering our history. I have attended many other war weekends this year and have given to charities at these events, that have set up a charitable fund to help with Ukraines troubles.
Pickering used to be the pinnacle of celebrating our history, and each year there is less and less, and we were met with such negative connotations from the railway staff.
This is such a shame and I do hope you can still make up your much needed upkeep from other themed weekends.
This is so disappointing.
1 The Pickering show ground
2 No dancing on platforms
3 The Germans at “Le Visham” station
Are a few of the things that have gone not to be replaced.
