How Wood school children had a great #abbeylinedayout - taking their teddies to the moon at St Albans Cathedral!
By choosing to go by #abbeyline train they had fun & did their bit for the planet

Throwback to the #AbbeyLine in the 60s & 70s! 🚆 Annie's uncle Eldon was a conductor who once fined his own daughter for fare dodging 😂 And yes — he met Muhammad Ali at Watford Junction! 🥊📸
