OPEN DAY - TOTON EWS DIESEL DEPOT, 1998 (1) - August Bank Holiday Weekend 1998 - What a great day out! I took my grandson who was 4 and met up with brother and his son from Middlesbrough and we spent the whole day touring round. I'm not normally much into this sort of thing, enjoying railways for the solitude they offer me, but I was prepared to make an exception. My grandson loved it because we went all the way by train, including on one of the shuttles from Derby.
