Rolling Stock: Following an inspection Car 8 was found to need a new roof so has been out of service while this work was undertaken. As well as a new roof the car received new roof support posts and seat cross-bracing.

The diesel shunter has been renovated and repainted by VERA member Les Kenward and now looks very smart in its yellow, black and red livery.
