Nothing shown on RTT as going from Barrow to Carlisle today, so I would assume it still is. Thought the reopening is still some way off.

Thats right Sheff, the last I read the repairs at Bransty aren't expected to be completed until some time in 2027. The Saphos Lakelander tomorrow, and presumably others this year, returns south via S&C, in effect a CME rather than CCE. RTCs...

Apologies for the delay in giving an update on construction but I have been out of the country. So I have attached just a few photographs from the recent Open Day with the Hengist Group at Diamond Engineering in Sheffield. They are hopefully...

It was great to see the six forgings at Shildon on Monday. On all six, a corner had been cut off so that a steel sample has been tested and a report prepared on the properties of each forging. In the machine shop a large CNC milling machine was...

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...
