The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is planning for a much busier year. The first major project completed is the removal of the "Dust Dock", built 50 years ago to take deliveries of limestone dust produced by quarries along the Cromford & High Peak Rly and enable closure of that line. The massive retaining wall snapped off cleanly about 2 feet above rail level, a neat start for the proposed platform extension.
Construction of the Down Platform at Shottle is well advanced and the steelwork for the maintenance facility is being erected.
LMS 3F No. 47406 is booked to visit over the summer between May and August.
There will be an Open Day for prospective volunteers on Saturday 18th February, with guided tours and half price travel (£5) for anyone buying membership of the Supporters Association on the day.
