THE Class 315 Preservation Society (RM Jan. P70) suffered disruption in transferring its four-car EMU to the Llanelli & Mynydd Mawr Railway (L&MMR) in January due to bad weather and resulting ground conditions.
The unit arrived at Lydney Junction on the Dean Forest Railway, with the cars then to be transported by road to the L&MMR at Cynheidre. The first, DMS No. 64571, was moved on January 9, with the other three expected before the end of the week. Heavy rain meant plans had to be revised and new dates set. This cloud’s silver lining was that it allowed time for alterations to be made to the trackwork to ease off-loading at the L&MMR’s ramp and shunting to the Class 315’s siding. Members’ assistance is needed to enable a new target of having them all in place and connected in time of for the railway’s gala on March 18/19.
