    It was out of use since early July due to a change of ownership (It previously being owned by one individual). CHR had to wait for the sale to complete and a new loan agreement negotiated with the new owners (English Electric Preservation).

    My Mars Bar is backing Robin with this.

    Edit: SWMBO disagrees with me. :(

    No I do not currently volunteer
    Thats some good news. I remember a flurry of comments asking where it was going as it was intimated that it was working its last train at the start of the summer. I see the Barclay is on the home straight too.
