Yate is on the move with new exhibition

I saw this exhibition last week and it is quite a small affair. The layout is a 4mm scale model of Yate station as it was pre-Beeching, and it is not an operating layout.

Given the relative sizes of Yate and Sodbury these days, I would say that Sodbury is close to Yate :-)

Thanks for that Jim, what was the rest of the exhibition like ...... any good ?

Not been to the Bristol area for about 6 or 7 years.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of fight in the dog.

Chris,

It is basically a text and pictures display of local transport in Yate over the last hundred years or so/ The model of the station and another display of bus memorabilia (conductor's ticket machine, etc) are on plinths in the centre of the (not very large) room.

I found it of interest for a fifteen minute visit while grandson was doing his karate training in the church hall next door, but I don't know if I would find it worthwhile if I had to travel some distance to see it. I had seen quite a few of the pictures before and I suspect that you could find most, if not all, of the information on the web

Jim.
