With interest in the First World War now greater than ever, one untold story is that of the thousands of miles of light railways that were laid to supply the front-line trenches. The narrow-gauge railway in Leighton Buzzard has one of the few surviving steam engines from that era, painstakingly restored to original War Department condition, and it is scheduled to haul passenger trains on Easter Sunday and Monday. A true iron war-horse!
