The NYMR have known about the need for repairs to the bridge or quite a while. A change of civil engineer seems to have brought a different perspective to the matter.

There’s a fundamental difference between the KWVR bridge and the NYMR’s problem. In that the latter is grade 2 listed and simply can’t be replaced. Not only that but any repairs have to not affect the external appearance. The two projects are...

Following on from the Bob Lund fatality a few years ago, shunting on the NYMR is a non-preferred activity, only done when it has to be done. It's not something I totally agree with but I can well understand why this is the case. You also need...

Was thinking about the comment on loading. The issue with the MHR is being shorter and therefore the stations being closer together, the problem isn’t that Dave couldn’t haul 6 coaches, but that it cannot keep time with that number. 3, possibly 4...

It surely depends on what you are trying to measure. Visitor numbers are a good metric for the number of people at the railway. By including people who enter the premises, you capture the full reach of the railway and, bearing in mind that...

Of course there are hundreds of such awards run by trade media and (having in a previous professional life been involved in running a few of them), I hate to break this to the delighted NYMR membership secretary, but they're really not worth the...

Dining passengers should be included. It should include anyone who travels on a train. One of the reasons why such information was collected was to enable the ORR to assess risk and target their meagre resources accordingly. A line that...

For many years heritage railways had to report their visitor numbers and other statistics to the Railway Inspectorate. Eventually the HRA was tasked with doing this and provided collated information to the ORR as it had become. Since the death...

The following is a copy-and-paste from a report I've just sent to our volunteers on HOPS. Hello everyone, Saturday and Sunday saw the first trains operating over the new Broom Lane Bridge. It was certainly great to see the whole railway open...

It's not a Stills boiler; its TTO 43654. Can't you read? ;) I note that, when Moors Line was first re-vamped a couple of years ago, the names of the paid editorial team that replaced volunteer editor John Hunt was proudly mentioned on the back...

The crane is there to lower the heavy timbers that will form the foundations for the propping. I can see that there will be logistics problems in having too many large vehicles in the village at the level crossing so I guess it will be a case of...

'Dave' may be an industrial and is essentially a Hunslet Austerity. Similar Hunslet Austerity 'Antwerp' used tl handle 6 coach trains on the NYMR, which is a steeper and longer line than the MHR so there's no reason why Dave shouldn't do the...
