The first passenger train of the first 'Restoring Your Railway' reopening will run on Wednesday 17 November, ahead of public services resuming on Saturday 20 November. The line was restored in just nine months and delivered £10m under budget, transforming a mothballed former freight railway to regular services.
This reopening is the first of the Government's 'Restoring Your Railway' schemes to return to service, fulfilling a manifesto commitment.
