JOHN ASKWITH
FOLLOWING acquisition of the Weardale Railway (WR) by the Auckland Project in March, the Transport &WorksAct Order needed to be changed.
This has now been approved, allowingWeardaleRailway Limited (WRL), previously Weardale RailwaysCIC, track access again.
WRL has bought three Class 31 locomotives from HNRC, which were already based on the line. These are Nos. 31285, 31459 and 31465.
