The 10.30 Loughborough (GCR) to Quorn and Woodhouse 'special' came to a halt north of the station for 55009 'Alycidon' to then detach and move forward into the station yard siding as seen here. This left 37714 'Cardiff Canton' to bring the train into the station for DPS members to disembark ready for the Society's AGM to be held in the marquee seen to the right. The transportation of members on a train hauled by one their own locomotives was an obvious draw and saw many more attend the AGM than would normally be the case; a big success I would say.
