The railway has been leased the West Sussex Railway's Two intercity MK4's and Mk4 DVT to relieve the Doncaster Valley Railway's Ex Intercity HST and Ex Virgin Railways MK3's from their duties as charter service stock. To add to this, the railway has purchased an Ex Intercity 'swallow' liveried MK3 1st Class Buffet Coach '10225' to match the stock, also forming a full rake of three coaches. This is a permanent piece of rolling stock for the railway and it is hoped that the line can soon purchase their own Ex Intercity DVT and more Stock to run their own all owned Charter Services. Loco rostered to pull the charters will be 67005 'Queens Messenger' of which DBS has allowed permanent residence here now, albeit her true home is Bescot, but we will ensure she is kept up to scratch with our stock and locos.
In other news, due to the WSR loaning the railway the above mentioned rolling stock, we have allowed them to run some of our locomotives until the deadline of our trial runs with the DVT and MK4's. Locos and stock include:
-BR Jinty:47636
-Ex BR Engineers class 73: 73108
-Ex GWR toad brakevan
-Pullman coach: Evadne
