The Yorkshire Wolds Railway are having a 'Grand Opening' event on Sunday and Monday this week.
The project was formed just under 7 years ago and they were just reported to have laid 100 metres of track by BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Look North (Hull one) last night.
The line is the former Malton Dodger service from Driffield to Malton in North Yorkshire, not the high profile Beverley to York campaign.
Fimber is only station in use so far.
On the local news they looked to have quite a bit of rolling stock including red & cream coaches, and most prominently a diesel shunter.
It's not far from The North York Moors line so might be worth a visit if on the way there. Wikipedia has no page so I linked the railways page.
Our Grand Opening will be on Sunday 24 and Monday 25 of May 2015. An opening ceremony will take place on Monday 25 May at 11am. This will be your first opportunity to visit East Yorkshire’s only Heritage Railway Project.
Our address is Fimber Halt, Beverley Road, Fimber, YO25 3HG, and you can view a map here
The site will be open from 10-4.
