    ‎9466 expected to be working service trains Saturday and Sunday on the SDR prior to departing by road next week. Diagram should be all services on Saturday, then four round trips on Sunday starting with the 10.00 from Buckfastleigh. Stock is the carmine and cream set.

    Has the collision damage been repaired?
    Mods, could you please correct the thread title to the right number.

    Can anyone confirm this is true and not a press release made prior to the incident at Dereham ?, I'd certainly be suprised if 9466 was fixed already.

    Good to hear, presumably the damage was only minimal or someone been working like a trojan.

    Just heard 9466 has just been failed with a leaking tube and is replaced by 1369.

    Trying to follow this story, and have noticed that the "sdronline" site is not being updated. New site for South Devon news--an unofficial site, but run by the previous webmaster for the official site-- is as follows, and there is a "breaking news" item from yesterday about 9466. Just scroll down the page a little.

    Visit: South Devon Railway News

    Perhaps worth taking the old site out of bookmarks.
