Post COVID Reopening Dates for Passenger trains - List in Post 1

Just wondering if anyone has been able to get a list of railways which managed to open yesterday (and with steam or not) (Saturday 4th July). Looking at Martin's open post, there didn't look to be any standard gauge lines listed (unless Didcot were running anything?), but I know that the Lakeside & Haverthwaite managed it (with steam). It will be interesting to see how they got on.

 

Avon Valley are planning to operate Diesel Services from 1st August https://www.facebook.com/AVRbitton/posts/1523418637840115

At Bressingham the Fen Railway started operating yesterday https://www.bressingham.co.uk/events/back-in-steam-one-railway.aspx

 

Apart from Lakeside & Haverthwaite, the North of England is looking a bit sparse. Has anyone heard if Tanfield, or South Tynedale have set dates to reopen ? Will the Weardale open this year due to the upheaval?

Very pleased about CVR as I am in the area on 1st Aug and was hoping for a ride up to Ipstones and from their website it looks like that might now be possible. Not cheap though, but high pricing is inevitable at the moment.

 

Apedale will re-open on August 1st.
