    I don't think that 80135 has ever worked through from Whitby to Pickering, certainly not regularly. It only worked a handful of Whitby - Glaisdale shuttles in May 2003 and a Christmas shoppers special to Middlesborough in December of that year....

    If 80135 takes water at Grosmont in the down direction it should be good to get to Pickering if there is no untoward event but it will be close. There was a prime example of this a couple of years ago with 80136 when the Ashpan sprinkler was left...

    We are assuming that the M7 and 80104 won’t be ready for this summer season. Maintenance requirements, steaming limits, coal & water costs and other ongoing issues would cause problems if we tried to run a 2 steam service for the whole summer - I...

    It does slightly surprise me that the NYMR doesn't arrange water at its intermediate stations - it doesn't have to be grand, a tank wagon in a siding with a submersible pump and a fire hose would do. It would give more peace of mind, particularly...

    Or they're too busy putting it right to issue updates to those of us who really don't need to know? :)

    Whilst on paper Repton is a strong loco is it a good match for NYMR's gradients and train lengths? It seems to have a heavy general overhaul every couple of years

    There are quite a few experienced people who share that view. I don’t think the Schools is the NYMR’s to sell, though.

    Repton seems to need some serious work to keep it going in traffic maybe that should of been sold and kept the standard 4

    That cable route looks very vulnerable! :(

    Maybe North Yorks CC could provide a footpath diversion over a nice wide former-rail bridge parallel to the footbridge which, although no longer strong enough to bear the weight of trains, should still be plenty strong enough for pedestrians...

    Well, I guess it depends on the number of missing bricks and depths of cavities and what the LIDAR has found. And why the cracks are forming. Also your viaduct is getting on for 80 years newer, I wonder if that makes a difference

    They are fairly poor photos, taken at distance, from bad angles, but they are i) just about the only info publicly available on the topic, and ii) they are fairly well assured to be accurate (unless someone thinks it's enough worth confusing the...

    I’d suggest that the so-called outer stone arches are more to make it look pretty than anything else. The Victorians were fond of decorative features on things that they built
