Midland Railway volunteers 'heartbroken' as vandals damage memorial benches, vehicles and signal box

A heritage railway centre is "heartbroken" after vandals struck at the site - damaging memorial benches, vehicles and the signal box. Volunteers at the Midland Railway Butterley in Ripley say they are "devastated".

The vandalism took place on the evening of January 23, causing not only damage to the Midland Railway but also its partner organisations. Local dog walkers heard the noise of breaking glass and alerted the police.

However, substantial damage was already done to various areas on site. It included damage to a heritage signal box, memorial benches, railway vehicles, the station and the works van.
