Project leader, Chris Baily, has summarised the position as the project resumes in 2010 here on the progress page. The D9531 website fell victim to the 'lockout' which occured on the BRDW website, so for 2 to 3 years it wasn't possible to update it. Luckily this coincided with there being little or nothing much to tell you about and thankfully woes with website and brake rigging are all behind us now. Periodic reports will follow as things progress so please check back often. The mailing list facility should resurrected in the near future also. It is very much hoped that 2010 will now see a return to service for this former ELR stalwart. The future's bright ... The future's Ernest! To keep up to date with information on D9531, click here
