Churnet Valley Railway closed after washout

The Churnet Valley Railway has had to close following a washout of some of the track, after a period of torrential rain had caused a breach of the adjacent Caldon Canal near Consall station.
As a result, Saturday's planned 'Super Power' event was cancelled - this would have featured THREE USATC S160 class 2-8-0s (residents 5197 & 6046 with visiting 2253) in action together for the first time in preservation.
The railway's management intend to reopen at the end of November after carrying out repair work.
