A new lease of life has been promised for The Emerald Rocket, a steam engine that was left to rot after the railways were electrified in 1962. The train which is today covered with graffiti has been sitting in a siding near Shirebrook for more than 40 years. Its windows have been smashed its doors have long since been stolen, and every part of it made of steel or iron is covered in rust. However the Sherwood Railway Trust has now secured a £200,000 grant to bring the Rocket back to working order
