Thanks to all those who donated to the succesful recent appeal for funds to move it, the 3 car Class 127 DMU given to the railway by the Dart Wyvern group from the South Devon Railway has now arrived. The appeal was successful enough that we have a little money left to put towards returning the unit to traffic, but of course we can also make use of more, so it's never too late to give!
A group is being formed to take care of the unit, and the first working session will be on Saturday 18th February at Alresford. We hope to have the unit serviceable for the watercress festival on the 20th May, so watch this space!
