    The board of Directors of Peak Rail plc has tonight (Wednesday 12th May 2010) received a formal request from the General Manager of the East Lancashire Railway of the possibility of hiring 8F Steam Locomotive 48624 before its contract ends with Peak Rail plc on Monday 31st May 2010.

    The board of directors of Peak Rail plc are delighted to be able to assist the East Lancashire Railway in their request and the locomotive is set for a possible departure to pastures new (providing transport is available) on Monday 17th May 2010.

    Peak Rail plc directors understand from the conversation with the General Manager of the East Lancashire Railway that 48624 will go from ELR to the Churnet Valley Railway as previously arranged with the Directors of 48624 Locomotive Company on Thursday 3rd June 2010.

    Surely the locomotive's owning group have the last say in where their locomotive is going, not Peak Rail.
