AN agreement has been reached between the East Lancashire Railway and the Battle Of Britain Locomotive Society, for the upkeep of SR Bulleid Light Pacific No. 34081 92 Squadron.
Details were shared by the ELR on December 4, with BBLS chairman Ian Bowskill making an official statement shortly afterwards. “It’s not a decision we have taken lightly,” said Mr Bowskill,“ but our prime aim has to be the secure future of the loco, and the partnership we are entering into should ensure this.”
