2008

The line has been re-laid from Langford Bridge to just short of Lee Moor Crossing using concrete sleepers and flat bottom rail.  After a lot of jacking and packing in some areas the line was ready for inspection.  In the spring, Inspectors from the Office of Rail Regulation visited the Railway, after we submitted the relevant paperwork to them, and they subsequently gave us approval to operate passenger trains to Lee Moor Crossing.  This gives a run of nearly three-quarters of a mile.

Work has started on the construction of a new level crossing that will enable the cycle-path, on the old Lee Moor Tramway trackbed, to cross our line as we relay it towards Plym Bridge.
