Steam On The Wirksworth Branch

[RichmondCommu]

G'day everyone,

I'm interested to know whether steam is likely to return to the Wirksworth branch aka EVR this summer.

Any information would be much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Richmond Commuter!

As far as i can see yes on the Ravenstor branch but not on the main EVR.

No plans this year but 2017 should see much steam activity as four anniversaries are being celebrated:-
150 years since the line opened
70 years since the last scheduled passenger train
50 year since the Cromford & High Peak Railway closed
25 years since WyvernRail plc was incorporated (Ltd at first)
20 years since the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway Association was formed
