Bulla Hill Railway back on track

The Bulla Hill Railway is back on track for 2021.

The railway’s last run day was in March last year before the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to public events.

Railway committee member Kris Siderov said members couldn’t visit the railway during lockdown.

“When we finally got given the all clear, we found weeds across the tracks … so we’ve been slowly cleaning up and trying to reduce the amount of weeding.“

The miniatures trains had it’s first run day of the year last month. Mr Siderov said the railway was missed by the community.

“We had a good run day in January and everyone was really good and helpful with signing in,“ he said.

“It was a really pleasant day to come back to everything. We had people coming in at a steady rate especially because it was the last few weeks before the schools holidays finished and people wanted to get out.

To ensure a COVIDSafe environment, passengers are required to sign in and to bring a mask.

There are also limits on the number of people allowed to be on site.

“We can’t have people sitting around,“ Mr Siderov said.

The Bulla Hill Railway operates on the third Sunday of each month. The next run day is on Sunday, February 21.
