After the presentation, Her Royal Highness was conducted around the museum and enjoyed a ride to Bourne Again Junction behind visiting Hudswell Clark 0-6-0ST locomotive No 88.  This locomotive has just completed a superb restoration and its owner, Stephen Middleton received one of the Sir William McAlpine Awards for the project. Details of National Transport Trust awards can be found on www.nationaltransporttrust.org.uk
