2009

2009 has been a good year for the B&BLR, the number of passengers increased signifigantly.

Passengers were even queing at the steamday for a local school.

Goods transport has doubled this year, mostly timber, stone and Cahors wine (some of the latter actually reached its destination).

The year started badly with the storm "Claus". Trees on the track caused delays all over the line.

After the storm, a lot of timber  from storm damaged trees had to be transported. As our Caroline and Polly's couldn't cope with the extra workload, more locomotives were needed.

Polly's from all over France and Britain came to the rescue of the B&BLR. With the help from our friends and the new logging waggons, the line was back in business in short order.
