    … including the first train (the Baguley-Brewery railcar) for 50 years.

    If it goes wrong, you do stand of failing to organise the proverbial though...

    Congrats to the Rother Valley Team, amazing progress!

    The latest youtube video includes a driver's-eye view (from the Baguley-Brewery) of a long length of the relaid track. Looks just like the KESR :) but then I suppose it would (it's the curves). It's also clear that quite soon, as surrounding undergrowth returns over a very few years, this bit of railway will look like it never went away.

    I almost can't wait for that length to be reconnected at the ends! I gather some major engineering projects (bridges, level crossings) will have to go in before that can happen, though. (Shouldn't be too long, though; many/most of them seem to be already planned.)

    New blog post from earlier today here.

    This has pictures of laying the second track of the passing loop. All we need now are the points
