The Heritage Railway Association Annual Awards 2023, sponsored by Hallett Oils, took place at the Birmingham Conference and Events Centre on Saturday night.
The award celebrates excellence across visitor experience, business, safety, teamwork, preservation, restoration and engineering.
Backhouse: We are delighted to win this prestigious award
Steve Backhouse, General Manager at The Isle of Wight Steam Railway said,
“We are delighted to win this prestigious award and be recognised as the UK’s leading heritage railway.
“I feel very fortunate to be a part of an amazing group of paid staff and volunteers who bring a raft of enthusiasm, skills, experience and teamwork to running the Railway.”
He continued,
“The team have been very busy at Havenstreet, preparing our visitor attraction for the new season and we open again on Mother’s Day 19th March.
