Having attended the Deltic Preservations Society AGM at Quorn and Woodhouse station members were invited to travel in a specially chartered train on the Great Central Railway back to Loughborough (GCR) hauled by 55009 'Alycidon'. Rather than going the short distance straight back to Loughborough, the train first headed south to Rothley hauled by 37714 'Cardiff Canton' followed by a run north again with 55009 at the helm. The 15.45 ex Quorn and Woodhouse is seen on arrival at Loughborough with DPS members alighting from the train. A cracking end to a great day, all credit to the DPS for laying on the event, let's hope that future AGMs attract so many members!
