On 27 August 1960, the Lincolnshire Coast Light Railway became the first railway in the world to be built by enthusiasts on a greenfield site. It offered the public a connection between a local bus terminus and a beach and holiday camp. Sixty years later on 27 August 2020, the current volunteers including some who remember the beginnings recreated the first LCLR train consisting of Paul hauling a ex-WW1 D wagon converted to carry passengers. The LCLR is not running passenger trains this year due to Covid-19 but it was able to run a commemorative train with volunteers as the passengers. Social distancing rules were observed and masks were worn when appropriate.
