    N7 Farewell on the Churnet Valley - 11th & 12th April 2015​

    As many people will be aware, April sees the Churnet Valley's long term guest N7 No.69621 reach the end of its current boiler certificate. Once this has expired, the locomotive will be withdrawn from service prior to a return to its home-base at the East Anglia Railway Museum.

    With this in mind, the CVR will be operating the N7 for one last time on the weekend of 11th & 12th April, which is coincidentally the railway's Sci-Fi weekend. Services will be running to the 2-train Yellow timetable with the N7 operating on the T1 diagram on both days, which sees the locomtive operate five return trips along the CVR only with its first train departing from Cheddleton at 10.32am.

    These trains will be the locomotives final public services, so if you want t see the N7 in steam for one last time make sure you find your way to the Churnet Valley for this event.

    The N7 is due to to be withdrawn Midnight 18th April after a days operating a Private Photographic Charter.

    A note for the Diesel fans: 33102 will be the second train operating the Yellow Timetable over the 11th & 12th.
