ROG to operate Barrow Hill real ale festival shuttles

THE Rail Operations Group (ROG) and Barrow Hill Roundhouse are joining forces to provide a rail shuttle from Derby and Chesterfield to the historic loco shed for its real ale festival weekend on September 10 and 11.

On both days, the morning departure will be routed via Sheffield and the ‘Old’ Road to Barrow Hill. Traction will be provided by Class 37 No. 37510 on the Friday and

No. 37800 on the Saturday. At the rear will be a Class 57 to help with the various reversing moves in and out of Barrow Hill to the depot’s platform. ROG advises specific locomotives are subject to availability.

Ticket prices are printed here, with and without admission to the event, as some may want the ride over non-passenger lines.
