    I had a memorable run to Battersby one glorious spring evening firing to Fletch (the late John Fletcher) on Tornado. We only went from Grosmont, not Whitby, and as you say it was a short lived experiement but what a lovely evening turn it was - a...

    The forecast for Monday onwards is rain, but it seems to be a case of too little, too late. Several consecutive heatwaves have completely dried out everything, and a call had to be made early. Disappointing, but the correct decision.

    In fact, some respondents were enjoying the road closure due to the peace and quiet.

    There are many for whom Facebook's privacy practices are unacceptable, and who will not use them. Some are to be found here. While it is much more accessible than NatPres, on several levels, it is unreasonable to assume that all will use it....

    Thank you - as a non-user of Facebook (for security reasons) I was unaware of the cancellation. Can't the ELR use a more accessible source for such information - such as NatPres ?

    I don't know if I can answer your query as such but I can offer some history.. The Pullman Diner set used to be able to go to Whitby but not sure the last time it did. The carriages in question are all listed on the CDL exception. I also believe...

    Explore Whitby at leisure and have time for fish & chips - in an hour??? That would be quite a rush, I think!

    @5944’s post and my response seem to have sparked a lot of comment. I used the term park and ride and period shouldn’t have. What I think both of us are saying is than opportunity has been missed. The end of October is unlikely to be a time when...

    Sad of course, but inevitable. Today was another truly awful day, just making things even worse re lineside fire risk. Bryan

    I noticed on one of the FB rail groups a couple of the "Seasoned Complainers" are commenting. Other than that it looks reasonably possitive from the locals.

    Thanks Harold & Mark, Tomorrow Thursday and Friday should see the Northbridge Street level crossing concrete slabs put in place followed by fitting the new rails in the slab of grooves. Then next week is all about tarmac, barrier and assocataed...

    On the point of providing a service as a 'park and ride' as a heritage line, personally, I will always look to use the train if one is available. I appreciate I am an enthusiast, but there must be others of a similar mind. With a brief mention...

    Here and here. Oddly enough, although the first one is flagged "Posted 1 week ago", it wasn't there first thing this morning (I checked). Still, I'm glad to see work has started. I hope the locals are not too discomfited by the road closure. Noel
