Reopening the full line means visitors can have a full round trip, hauled by a heritage steam or diesel locomotive, from any of the Leicestershire stations.Malcolm Holmes, general manager of the Great Central Railway, said: "Our railway was built 125 years ago so it's absolutely vital we continue to keep everything in good condition.Follow BBC East Midlands on
