Fantastic news
Saw it today through Grindleford, the first time I’ve seen it in active service for many years, a fine sight and sound indeed. Complete surprise, just happened to be out on a walk and encountered a crowd of people waiting. If we’d arrived just 5 minutes later, we would have missed it.
