Local Dignitary Lady Glenmutchkin today flagged off the first train to use the new passing loop at Inverstarve.

A spokesman for the GLR said that the new loop would greatly improve punctuality on the line. When asked about previously announced plans for electrification he told your reporter that this was now subject to a government 'pause'.

Police later said that local youth Harry Potter had been charged with ticketless travel.

Trackwork and ballasting are complete. Planting may or  may not turn out to be temporary.
