The Steam Train Ride!

Yesterday we were able to spread a little bit of magic by granting the Silver Wishes of over 30 residents to ride on a steam train.

 

Residents and their guests came together from across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Essex for a day out at the Epping Ongar Railway.  They arrived at North Weald Station at 10.30am where they started the morning with a cuppa at the station café. They then boarded the Metropolitan 1 Steam Train for a trip through the beautiful Essex countryside.

 

After the train, the party disembarked and boarded a vintage bus headed for Epping where they had lunch out at a local Turkish restaurant. The day ended with one last trip on the bus before heading back home.

 

Debbie Gilard, Head of Corporate Services for Quantum Care said ‘We had the most amazing day at the Epping Ongar Railway. The volunteers that work there went out of their way to ensure that we had the best day possible and we would like to offer huge thanks to them all. The same goes for the Pivaz restaurant in Epping who treated us to the most delicious lunch and fabulous service at very short notice. Sincere thanks also go to all the members of staff, friends and volunteers who helped out on the day’.
