Churnet Valley in 2013

Yes, and don't worry I'm on it. Hopefully there will be an update asap, Santas have just appeared on the websites timetable so the Mince Pie Specials shouldn't be far behind!

 

It is indeed...

 

Xmas Supper train 4th December cancelled due to lack of bookings. All other trains still booked to run (see very first post of this thread).

Just had it confirmed last night that the Mince Pies on Dec28/29 will run with 2 departures from Froghall at 1030 and 1320 as per Blue Timetable but with a twist.

Due to us only being able to run to Bridge 20, the train will return to LBJ before making another attempt up the bank as far as Apesford, before then returning to Froghall. So 1x Round trip will work as follows;
Froghall - Bridge 20 - Leek Brook Jcn - Apesford Crossing - Froghall (S160 / 33 Leading)

Further details as per post on Page 10

Prices as follows;
Adult - £16
Senior - £14
Child (4-14) - £10
Under 4s - Free
Family (2A2C) - £48
Family (2A1S) - £43
Dogs / Cycles - £1.50
One Carer can travel Half Price with one fare paying disabled person.

And Santa Season 2013 is now underway, with the N7 kicking things off at CVR. Seen a few pictures knocking about, with hopefully more to follow over the coming months. A few places are also still available for those interested on selected dates. Call 01538 750755 to book!

Update to the website has seen the online shop become live. Only basic at present, this will slowly be developed over the coming months.

Evening all, 2 sets from me of the CVR santa trains this weekend...

Is the S160 booked for the mince pie specials?

 

If the air pump arrives back from Germany by tomorrow then yes, if not then it more than likely be left to the N7/33102.

 

It is booked, however we are still waiting for the return of the air pump!

I've been advised (as the fireman) I'm on the N7, but the driver reckons the S160 will still be coming out to play. If I get anything more certain I shall let you know

 

Evening all,

Photographs of todays Winter Warmer trains with N7 & 33102 are now online at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/frank47524/sets/72157639124248025/
