    No I do not currently volunteer
    Is there any news on repairs to the Blue S-160 after it's mishap earlier in the year?

    Hope the damage wasn't too severe and repairs are going well.

    Fantastic visit to Rail Ale Trail yesterday, hopefully another big success for the CVR.

    It was clear the new marquee at Cheddleton was a big success. Although the bar capacity seemed to struggle a bit.

    It certainly felt a little busier than last year which is good to see. Hopefully signals well for its ongoing success and expansion, along with the majority of sold out dining dates for the rest of 2026.

    Even with 7 carriages it did make me wonder if/when leek opens, just how much more popular this event could be! And how much more capacity it would need or could be created.
