NOTABLE examples of further lines reopening following coronavirus lockdowns include Heatherslaw Light Railway, which managed to reopen earlier than projected on April 12 following efforts to deal with the significant landslip that occurred in January.
Old Kiln Light Railway reopened following a lengthy closure, with Jim Haylock’s 0-4-0T Emmet providing steam services over May 1-3. Amberley anticipated running steam and offering passenger rides for the first time in over six months during an Industrial Trains Day on May 23.
