Happy new year and welcome to Beamish Transport Online! As readers will no doubt realised, news is a little thin on the ground at the moment as we remain closed under the restrictions imposed by the current national lockdown. We remain functioning however, with a few staff active on essential animal welfare and maintenance matters. The Senior Leadership Team remains active and working on options for the season ahead, whenever that may start (and in whatever form we will be able to open).

The highlight of recent weeks has been the snow! So this post, as well as saying welcome to the blog, is essentially a gallery of a largely sleeping museum blanketed in snow.
