The VLR scheme is very much still in play, there are very few things peak rail can do with the reach and resources they have, what they can do is establish a visible presence on the ground in buxton, a lot of things are changing in the town and...

[ATTACH] This was posted the other day on Facebook. Nothing changes - S160 being worked on, 80135 in bits, West Country boiler being overhauled, and piles of crap everywhere.
