5619 has returned to service. On Saturday she was in use for driver experiences, and on Sunday for service trains and footplate experiences. It is great to have her back in steam. Her next running days will be Sunday 24th September and Sunday 1st October before our season finishes. So be quick if you want to ride behind her this year!

Two volunteers have been passed out as shunters at the railway. Congratulations !
