The Duke returns to the East Lancs Railway

UPDATE: the engine will not be moving tomorrow (Monday) as previously scheduled.  Further information will appear as soon as possible. 

After a long but interesting time away from our home base, 71000 will return to the East Lancashire Railway from the Nene Valley Railway light engine, on Monday 17th October.

71000 is scheduled to leave Orton Mere at 10:09 and arrive at Castleton Ground Frame at 21:03.

The Trust would like to thank everybody at the Nene Valley for their hospitality and for making our visit so eventful by arranging for 71000 to be reacquainted with HRH Duke of Gloucester.

71000 will next appear at the East Lancashire Railway Steam Gala on the 22nd and 23rd of October.
