The RNLI’s Stormy
Stan made a surprise visit to
the Hayling Seaside Railway
which was donating all its day’s
fares to the Hayling Island
Lifeboat Station. |
| |
|
To
the delight of the children,
Stormy Stan and local volunteer
lifeboat crew joined passengers
on the train journeys along the
seafront on Tuesday 7th April.
The children were given beach
safety information and RNLI
flags to wave as they went on
the 2 mile round trip. |

The Hayling
Seaside Railway, formerly know
as the East Hayling Light
Railway, holds three charity
days a year. Bob Haddock, the
train operator, said, “Everyone
involved with the railway would
like to give something back to
the community and this is our
opportunity for our volunteers
to share our hobby with
volunteers from local
charities.” |

Visitors also enjoyed a
display of model lifeboats from the
Southern Model Lifeboat Society and
the local fire and rescue team brought
along a fire tender to show the
children. During the day, £289 was
raised for the Hayling Island Lifeboat
Station. |

The railway, which
normally operates at weekends and on
Wednesdays, will be running trips
daily throughout the Easter school
holiday. For more information about
