The Dinting Railway Centre

Hi all, I have just been watching a couple of those urban explorer videos on YouTube, both at the old
The Dinting Railway Centre as the subject.

One of them was better in that he had also added some footage from when the centre was open.

Also, having done some reading up, I got the impression that the lease was not or could not be renewed at the time and there may have been a falling out between some of the Trustees/Directors.

After the locos had moved out, there was a plan submitted to build houses on the site, but that was refused. I have also read that there have been other planning submissions, and again they too have been refused.

In the other video, the host was saying that someone or something has been in there recently and has started to clean the site up; he was referring to the path from the old shed up to where the old miniature railway used to be.

Now I have never been to this site, but the history has become very interesting, and from what I know, if it were open today it might have become a major mainline steam servicing depot.

Also, I didn't realise that it also had GCR connections as well.

So since I don't know, has anyone been following what has recently happened to Dinting, and is it the same owner from back then who owns the site now? And does anyone happen to know if there are any new plans to clean up more of the site?
