Our speakers on March 12th will be David Hands and Keith Alexander from Nene Valley Railway. They will be talking about the history of the line, and some of the events that have happened there.

After 37 years as an accountant / Finance Director, David spent 6 years as a Tourist Officer in Oundle Tourist Information Centre before retiring completely to concentrate on his volunteering roles with Duxford Aviation Society, Oxfam and Nene Valley Railway. His main focus now is NVR where he is part of the Museum and Archive Group, the Education team and two project working parties, the Overton Goods Yard project and Wansford Old Station Building project.
He has a lifelong interest in all forms of transport and is a member of National Transport Trust, North Norfolk Railway and Australian Motor Heritage Foundation.

Following a career of 44 years as a Civil Servant, Keith retired in 2019. Although volunteering for the NVR in the Museum and Archive Group 3 years earlier, he became the Honorary Museum Curator in 2021. In 2024 Keith started additional service at the NVR in the Education Team as the team leader was due to step down. Keith then became Leader in late 2024. Further developments at NVR include Peterborough City Centre historical walks centering on Peterborough North station and the old Spital Shed, Crescent Bridge, Sheet stores near Asda, Railworld and old LNWR shed and finally the old Peterborough East site and associated buildings at Fletton Quays. This includes a final slideshow of many archive photographs showing the locations visited.
Keith is a National Trust member, enjoys pub quizzes and is a very keen woodworker.
