The Statfold Barn Railway has announced that they have made the switch to diesel power due to fire risk. The railway runs through both farmland and countryside and to keep the crops safe, the decision has been to switch to diesel and battery power until further notice. This weekend, Saturday services will be in the hands of the battery electric locomotive, and on Sunday, Plymouth diesel, Tiny, will be hauling trains.

The Stanier Mogul Fund has sent over a small update on the work going on behind the scenes whilst the Severn Valley Railway has been blocked at Mor Brook.
