    I don't recall seeing it in any events listing previously, and certainly it was mooted that the event would be rested this year, but I see from the Mail Rail newsletter that Railways at Work will be taking place on July 25th & 26th. No event page on the website for it at the moment that I can see.

    The Ellis Shed Cafe at Rothley is to be retained by the GCR and run as a visitor centre and cafe using volunteers according to the latest GM Update. It will be good to have it back in operation.

    Hey all,

    attached you will find two videos, which I made in May 2026. The first part is about the GCR Nottingham with visiting LNER 60103 "Flying Scotsman". The second part is about the Loughborough to Leceister North section which I visited on the same day. Enjoy watching the videos.

    (Sorry for the german video title)

    Have a good one!

    Nice video, and no need to apologise for captioning in German; we should be happy that you made the trip over to visit!
    In the GCRN video, you've mis-captioned the diesel as D1854, it is actually D8154.
