    I seem to have lost track of what's happening with Olton Hall... My apologies for not being up to speed... But is it now a permanently stuffed and mounted exhibit at the Harry Potter Exhibition, or is it just there for a contracted period of time?

    Richard.

    Supposedly leased for two years, but I expect WCRC will renegotiate then, weighing up whether it is worth restoring her to mainline work or not. I wouldn't be surprised, with her limited mainline use, that she could be there for quite some time. But she is safe, kept in a warm and dry building, and bringing happiness to 1000s of people a day, can't really say fairer than that.
