    44932 moved to Southall on Monday. 44871 is at Carnforth. If RH can't even spell East Grinstead correctly, I wouldn't 100% trust what else they write. Look at the bottom of the screenshot - Ian Riley Railtours!

    Presumably the Bulleid coaches and RMB have returned by road to the railway or will do shortly?

    Regards,

    Yes, they came back by road - at least two of them were back a couple of weeks ago.

    From photos and posts on Facebook, the line is now all reconnected at both Vaux End and West Hoathly, with everything ballasted, tamped and tidied up.

    I gather there was some concern about vehicle gauging, so suspect they could not be cleared for the Carnforth - East Grinstead - Carnforth journey in time.

    Is filming still taking place on the railway? My Dad heard a whistle yesterday at work I think and a van with a film unit sign drove past us after we finished earlier today

    Looking at that photo of the completion I was struck by how bare the terram on the cutting walls looks, has vegetation now covered it, or does it still look a bit of a mess?

    Buddliea had grown on both sides of the cutting so it does not look as bare.
