Not yet, think because of the virus and less visitors this year, it's repair is not seen as a priority.

The train was parked up minus carriages in a lay by on the road between Mercadonsvand the car park, apparently there was an accident with the train. Saw it on a visit a couple of weeks ago.

KevinB is spot on - it was parked by Kola Bay / Homefinders pull in (its usual stop) without any carriages - just the tractor/pulling unit. Looked pretty shabby and unloved.

Not sure if it even would be worth running again in the foreseeable future even if it was fixed up as there are so few tourists
