Steam returns to Princes Risborough

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic but today I visited the C&PRR to donate some books (I'm a member but not an active one) and found that after years of only reaching Thame Junction "Risborough Preview" trains are now running on selected Sundays from Chinnor all the way into Princes Risborough station. They don't have a platform there yet (next year?) so I still had to use the M40 to visit from W. London (and it was horribly congested today)  but this felt like a giant leap forward and adds over a mile to the total run - about 900 metres each way. Trains to Risborough are being topped and tailed with the LT Pannier and one of the diesels as they were before the run round was installed at Thame Junction but it was fascinating to travel past Risborough's gardens and the preserved signal box.  Eventually there will be a run round at P. Risborough but the platform is the priority.
