Getting back to the Railway proper. The crane for the bridge work arrived and was set up at Grosmont yesterday. Also, all the scaffolding is in place. In view of the settled weather, here's hoping they can crack on without any interruptions.

That’s X-rated stuff. If she was a horse she’d have been put out of her misery long since. Remind me just how much people paying to be part of this? I suppose at least for those in the Mk2s their ears are spared the agony.

Wiki says built in 1906, so I'm afraid you have missed contractual limitation by a mere 120 years. Unless the contract was executed as a deed, it's only 114 years late. That's before you get to the problem of privity of contract. I hate to...
