    A WEEKEND of pure railway, commercial vehicle and cinematic nostalgia awaits visitors to the Spa Valley Railway on May 11-12, when volunteers are putting on an ambitious Transport Film Festival.

    For railway enthusiasts there will be not only the line and its rolling stock, but a 52-year-old bus and for movie buffs, there will be archive Pathé News clips and transport films from the 1940s and 50s.
