The exciting news comes just a few months since the railway was re-opened after being restored.

The site in the Moss Bank Park was wrecked with £20,000 of damage in June 2022 by heartless vandals.

The railway, which had been a mile in length was reduced to just 20 feet.

However, following extensive work by volunteers and with the help of others it was able to reopen this year.
