    It looks as though the February steam gala has been cancelled. Its crossed off on the running days and there is no mention of it on the CVR website.

    I can confirm that the February gala will now not take place. The next event will be Barney Buffers for the February school holiday.

    Good news, let us hope that March brings dryer and warmer weather for the diesels, although it won't take much to beat snow and minus 12!

    Moorland & City Website appears to have died - at least on the address I bookmarked. FWIW, which isn't much, companies house shows accounts overdue.

    Re: Churnet Valley Railway& Moorland & City Railways Cauldon Lowe Branch re-opening G

    As a young boy I used to see the Mineral trains running on the Stoke to Leekbrook line at Milton as my Grandparents lived in the aptly named Station Grove in Milton. I am amazed that after all this time it is to be bought back into use. Why has work on this section been delayed until March?

    I don't know, but if I was going to resurrect 10 miles of track out in the open, I might try to avoid the bitter winds and rain of January/February. Perhaps the revivalists feel the same way.

    i thought it was because they still haven't signed a contract yet for that section of the line
