The Mid Hants Railway has announced that they will be reopening from Monday 12th April.
They have a Spring Steam Gala for April 30th-May 2nd, with the first visiting loco announced as the Bodmin & Wenford Railway's ex-GWR 64XX 0-6-0PT No.6435. The 'Pannier' has been on loan at the Spa Valley Railway since December 2020 and presumably, the visit to the MHR will be a stop over on it's journey back home to Cornwall.

It would appear that No.6435 has already moved to the MHR, as seen in the Facebook link, photographed at Ropley:

Bluebell Railway has announced today that they will be reopening on Thursday 20th May. I feel they missed a trick by not starting to run on Monday 17th May, as this is the anniversary of the arrival of the first loco & items of rolling stock when 'Terrier' No.55 'Stepney' arrived with two ex-SR coaches on 17th May 1960. This year will be the 61st anniversary of the arrivals - the attached photo shows a recreation for the 50th anniversary in 2010.
