It was a very wet, misty, and damp day at Woody Bay today for the Thursday Track Gang but the task on offer was actually indoor tracklaying! With the completion of the shed extension, and the digging out of the trackbed there, the job of laying the track linking up the existing track in the shed with that of the 'Lynton siding' in the cutting was able to be completed today almost completely inside the shed.

AXE hauled its first passenger trains to begin the 2009 season.

It was a clear, dry day and the sun eventually appeared to enhance the photo opportunities. Visitors were about, as well as several members enjoying seeing AXE and riding the train. The newly completed toilet block was well received, with many favourable comments on the high standards achieved both inside and out. The shop and catering also did a healthy trade with the 110 passengers carried today.
