Successful eventful CVR gala

摘要

The first day of the Churnet Valley Railway's February 22-23 steam gala was hit by a circuit release problem at Consall signalbox. Initially, this meant running just a single train service on the CVR section rather than the planned two-train service -another single train service ran on the MCR line between Leekbrook Junction and Ipstones. And adding further complications, the grate of the Mid-Hants Railway's visiting'West Country'No. 34007 Wadebridge collapsed en route to Ipstones.
