We have now completed the work that must be done before opening next April. The exact date will depend on who opens it. Likely to be sometime in the first two weeks of April.

In the meantime we have some maintenance work we want to do before the tamper arrives: 179 more sleepers to change, two lengths of rail to replace, 176 pairs of fishplates to grease, Duffield platform to complete and several cross drains to clear. Fairly minor compared with the 5,000 plus sleepers already changed etc. etc!!

Serious planning for the opening can now get fully into gear!

Best wishes,

John H-T.
