We're back at the Great Central Railway Nottingham to witness of big milestone for the railway. We are riding on the first passenger service in 5 years from Ruddington Fields to Loughborough - their special Twixmas service for one day only.

As the GCR Reunification bubbles away nicely behind the scenes, the GCRN continues to get back on it's feet. Before Christmas, their Jingle Bells Express services saw passenger trains returning to Rushcliffe Halt. However today we see the first service on the full length of the line as far as the newly replaced A60 bridge in Loughborough.

We board the Class 107 green DMU service from Ruddington Fields on the 11am service. We look for the usual landmarks of fifty steps bridge, Rushcliffe Halt, East Leake, Barnstone Tunnel and Stanford Viaduct. We turn around at the stop board as the entry to Loughborough. It gives a good view of the trackbed towards Loughborough Central of the renewed bridges and new viaduct yet to be built.

After riding the train, we head up to see the next service crossing the impressive Loughborough viaduct. As a bonus we also call in at Quorn & Woodhouse on the Great Central Railway Leicestershire.
