South Tyndale Railway 5th May 2014

Our First visit to South Tyndale Railway.

 

Does anyone know how long 'Harrogate' is staying for?

 

All season, could be going back for one wekend for a gala, going back where is another question?

 

Excellent thanks! Should be visiting at the end of the month will hopefully see her then!

 

And does anyone know what the latest is on Barber's return to steam?

 

News about Barber would be most welcome since updates on the official site are, to say the least, infrequent.

 

Barber, could be wrong, but I think some said it would later this year, np specific date, but they hope to hold a special event uniting it with harrogate, my guess would be september if thinks go to plan, however you know how these thinks workout, just as likely bloke with a beard dressed as a women could win...

 

Captured the atmosphere of the railway and the magnificent landscape that it runs thro' superbly. many thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Alan

 

Barber appears to be coming along well. Boiler delivered to Alan Keef Ltd and fitted. The locomotive is to appear in Leeds at what remains of T. S. Green's works in early July. It then goes on display at The Great Yorkshire Show. After the show it then goes to Alston. This information is taken from the South Tynedale Railway Facebook page where further details may be found.

 

I understand 'Harrogate' failed at the weekend, does anyone know how serious this is? and if she'll be back running again soon/if anything else is currently serviceable, hoping to visit sometime next week during the timetabled Steam service, but unsure whether this will still be run by a steam loco. Thanks.

 

What are the key issues to be resolved in extending the line on from Slaggyford on to Haltwhistle?
