Dr Syn returns to the RH&DR for the first time since late 2018.

No.10 Doctor Syn returns to service after its recent overhaul.
A much missed member of the fleet returns after spending a few years out of service, due to overhaul complications and a pandemic. Last seen in late 2018, No10's usual black livery has received some alterations and updates. Among the changes the locomotive now has polished brass boiler bands, along with the black roads and no lining, not forgetting the smokebox plate now being red as opposed to yellow.
During the 'Relaunch' the railway was running a modified 'Green' timetable with 'Syn' completing two solo runs to Dungeness at the start and end of the day along with shuttle services between New Romney & Hythe.
